Abstract
This document describes domainname-based service principal names and
the corresponding name type for the GSS-API.
Domain-based service names are similar to host-based service names,
but using a domain name (not necessarily and Internat domain name)
instead of or in addition to a hostname. The primary purpose of
domain-based service names is to provide a way to name clustered
services after the domain which they service, thereby allowing their
clients to authorize the service's servers based on authentication of
their names.

2. Introduction
The use of hostbased principal names for domain-wide services
presents the problem of how to distinguish between an instance of a
hostbased service that is authorized to respond for a domain and one
that isn't.
Consider LDAP. LDAP with SASL and the Kerberos V GSS-API mechanism
uses a hostbased principal with a service name of "ldap", a
reasonable approach, provided there is only one logical LDAP
directory in a Kerberos realm's domain, and that all ldap servers in
that realm serve that one LDAP directory. If there were other LDAP
directories, then clients could not tell which service is authorized
to serve which directory, not without assuming a secure method for
finding LDAP servers (e.g., DNSSEC). This is a significant, and
oft-unstated restriction on users of LDAP.
Domain based names can eliminate this problem by allowing LDAP
service names to indicate which LDAP directory they are authorized to
serve.
A domain-based name consists of three required elements:
o a service name
o a domain name
o a hostname

3. Name Type OID and Symbolic Name
The new name type has an OID of
[NOTE: OID assignment to be made with IANA.]
{iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) security(5) nametypes(6)
gss-domain-based(5)}
The recommended symbolic name for this GSS-API name type is
"GSS_C_NT_DOMAINBASED_SERVICE".

Internet-Draft GSS Domain Based Names July 2004
4. Query and Display Syntaxes
There is a single syntax that applies to both query and display forms
of domain-based names. (We ignore string profile matters here as the
GSS-API's, and its mechanisms' use of character strings are out of
scope for this document.)
The syntax is:
domain-based-name :=
| <service> '@' <domain> '@' <hostname>
| <service> '@@' <hostname>
The domain name element is only optional in the query syntax of
domain-based names.
A missing domain name is always to be added by the GSS-API mechanisms
during name canonicalization, using whatever default values are
appropriate for the mechanisms.
Therefore the display form of domain-based MNs (see [RFC2743]) MUST
include all three elements of domain-based names.
Note that for Internet domain names the trailing '.' is not and MUST
NOT be included in the domain name (or hostname) parts of the display
form GSS-API domain-based MNs.

5. Examples
o ldap@@ds1.example.tld
o ldap@example.tld@ds1.example.tld
o kadmin@@kdc1.example.tld
o kadmin@example.tld@kdc1.example.tld

6. Security Considerations
Use of GSS-API domain-based names may not be negotiable by some
GSS-API mechanisms, and some acceptors may not support GSS-API
domain-based names. In such cases initiators are left to fallback on
the use of hostbased names, in which case the initiators MUST also
verify that the acceptor's hostbased name is authorized to provide
the given service for the domain that the initiator had wanted.
The above security consideration also applies to all GSS-API
initiators who lack support for domain-based service names.
