The local KDC in Leopard is pretty rad. In the absence of any real documentation, this page exists as a jumble of observations and theories.

Positioning and Use in Leoaprd

The Local KDC (LKDC) is a Kerberos implementation that extends "single sign-on" capabilities into ad-hoc networks. The LKDC supports the AFP, CIFS, and VNC services included in Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server. At the surface, the LKDC looks pretty much just like a regular Kerberos setup... you can log into one of the above named services and get Kerberos tickets, use standard tools like klist to manage tickets, use kadmin to administer the KDC, etc, etc. Some examples:

Standard Deviation

The crux of the LKDC implementation is the use of a SHA1 hash in place of the server name portion of a kerberos principal, effectively insulating Kerberos from dynamic network conditions. This significant re-definition of a kerberos principal is really cool, but also not standard. The standard kerberos libraries pretty much assume and require that the server name portion of a kerberos principal be just that: a server name (or IP address).

This presents two primary challenges:

  • Advertising and discovering LKDC realm information in an ad-hoc, peer to peer context
  • Harnessing the authentication process to construct the special kerberos principal and then handing it off to Kerberos

Advertising and Discovering

Not surprisingly, the mechanism used to advertise and discover LKDC information is multicast DNS, as it is very well suited to ad-hoc networks. In other more standard Kerberos deployments, it it not unusual to use DNS to discover Kerberos information in the absence of local configuration (see references at the bottom of the page), but with standard kerberos, the discovery is limited to realm name or KDC name. From the krb5.conf man page [libdefaults] section:

       dns_lookup_kdc
              Indicate whether DNS SRV records shoud be used to locate the KDCs and
              other  servers for a realm, if they are not listed in the information
              for the realm.  The default is to use these records.

       dns_lookup_realm
              Indicate whether DNS TXT records should be used to determine the Ker-
              beros realm of a host.  The default is not to use these records.

Each Mac OS X system advertises its own LKDC. At some point during or after startup, the LKDC realm name is read from Directory Services, e.g.

dscl . -read /Config/KerberosKDC RealName

The LKDC realm name is then advertised in the txt portion of a multicast DNS record called _kerberos in the .local name space. This record may be manually queried as follows:

dns-sd -Q "_kerberos.donk.local" txt

Replace "donk" with the bonjour name of a Leopard machine on your local network (can test on yourself if needed).

The result is a string of hex characters. This command does not terminate, so control-C to stop it. Now take the hex and run it through xxd -r -c 256.

xxd -r -c 256

<paste in the hex string, press return>

The result is the LKDC realm name, such as LKDC:SHA1.8B0FBACC08E3152A473A68D303E297A13CAA3AFD

Harnessing Authentication

The notion of using a unique hash as the sever name portion of the principal name is a new idea, so we cannot rely on standard Kerberos libraries to be able to construct the correct principal name based on the LKDC's realm name. Accordingly, the authentication process is brokered for supported service clients, in order to perform the LKDC realm name discovery and then construct a kerberos principal name that is correct for the remote LKDC. Once the correct service principal name is obtained, it is handed off to Kerberos and works normally.

The client-side authentication broker (for supported services!) is called NetAuthAgent, and you'll see it get fired up whenever you use vnc, afp, cifs. Think of this as a session manager, of sorts.

Most of the advertisement, discovery, and management functions involving the LKDC are provided by a private framework called KerberosHelper, and a Kerberos framework plugin called LKDCLocate.

Using KerberosHelper

Some of the basic methods provided by KerberosHelper might be exercised as follows (big ups to landonf!)

krb.c contains the following:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdlib.h>


extern int LKDCGetLocalRealm(char **realm);
extern int LKDCDiscoverRealm(const char *host, char **realm);

// XXX arg1 - 1 seems to trigger the dump to syslog.
extern int LKDCDumpStatus(int32_t arg1);

void find_realm (const char *host) {
    char *realm;
    char *kdc;
    uint32_t arg3;

    /* Find the realm */
    if (LKDCDiscoverRealm(host, &realm) == 0) {
        printf("Disovered Realm (%s): %s\n", host, realm);
    }

    free(realm);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char *local_realm;

    if (LKDCGetLocalRealm(&local_realm) == 0) {
        printf("Local Realm: %s\n", local_realm);
        free(local_realm);
    }

    /* Dump to syslog. XXX argument '1' is a guess */
    LKDCDumpStatus(1);

    if (argc < 2) {
        printf("Usage: %s <hostname>\n", argv[0]);
        return 1;
    }

    find_realm(argv[1]);

    return 0;
}

Compile with:

gcc krb.c -o krb -F/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks -framework KerberosHelper

Run it with one argument: a bonjour name of a leopard machine on your network. e.g.

{33} andre@donk [work/krb] % ./krb dude.local
Local Realm: LKDC:SHA1.8B0FBACC08E3152A473A68D303E297A13CAA3AFD
Disovered Realm (dude.local): LKDC:SHA1.C81B8D1A890D4D4DD079059A54594AA53B9A1A2B

Also, check your system.log. LKDCDumpStatus produces something like:

May 13 02:38:56 donk LKDCHelper[30484]:     LKDCDumpCacheStatus: Cache root node = 0x1034f0

NetAuthAgent

This appears to be a service client helper that manages the authentication process at a high level on behalf of various clients included with Mac OS X. A string dump reveals the following chunk of kerberos service names:

vncserver
webdaveserver
ftpsserver
ftpserver
cifs
afpserver

vncserver, cifs, and afpserver are the only 3 services that are kerberized in the LKDC by default, though NetAuthAgent appears to support others as well. Looking at all strings matching 'kerb', we see:

NetAuthAgent.app also includes NetAuthSysAgent, which appears to be a variant of NetAuthAgent for handling system-level operations that do not require user interface. It contains lots of filesystem semantics, and also appears to deal with certificates.

This (non-private?) Kerberos framework plugin looks like it's able to perform DNS queries to retrieve LKDC info. It also seems to interact with a mach service created by LKDCHelper called com.apple.KerberosHelper.LKDCHelper.

LKDCHelper
