#1396 Kerberos validation algorithm is insufficient for cross-realm trusts
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by sgallagh.

Currently, when we validate a TGT against the host keytab, we iterate through the keytab until we find a realm that matches the realm of the principal in the TGT. When a matching realm is found, we validate against it.

However, with cross-realm trusts, it is possible to receive a TGT for a realm not in the keytab, but that could still be validated by the keytab realm.

We need to modify the algorithm so that it will attempt to evaluate once for each realm in the keytab (skipping multiple enctypes) in case any of them work.

This proposal needs to be carefully evaluated for security exploits as well.
