<abstract>
<t>This document describes an <xref target="RFC4511">LDAP</xref> schema for implementing the
<xref target="RFC4120">Kerberos 5</xref>
<xref target="I-D.ietf-krb-wg-kdc-model">KDC Information Model</xref>.
It also defines additional elements which are not covered by the Information Model,
but are already in common use.

<section anchor="background" title="Background and Motivation">
<t>Both Kerberos and LDAP are frequently used separately for
distributed authentication. They can also be used in combination,
but typically their user databases remained separate. This distinction
in databases causes unnecessary duplication of data and administration
overhead. As such it is desirable for both systems to share a single
database. Since the LDAP data model is more general it is most
appropriate to store the Kerberos data in LDAP.</t>
<t>A number of Kerberos implementations already have support for
using LDAP as their KDC backing store. However, each implementation
uses its own schema, and the multiple schemas are mutually
incompatible. For the sake of interoperability and administrative
ease, it is important to define a single standard schema that can
be used uniformly by all Kerberos KDC implementations and interoperates
with existing LDAP specifications.</t>

<section anchor="impl" title="Implementation Details">
<t>Since the LDAP Password Policy is intimately involved in the
security mechanisms of this proposal, the directory should be treated
as more than just a passive data store. (The KDC can certainly read
the policy attributes and evaluate them itself, but that would mean
needlessly duplicating all of the functionality that is already
implemented in the directory server.) This means that for every
Kerberos authentication being serviced, a corresponding LDAP
operation must also be performed, in order to allow the password
policy mechanisms to operate.</t>
<t>The mechanism outlined here assumes that the plain LDAP credentials
and the Kerberos credentials are unified (or at least synchronized). In
that case, for every incoming Kerberos authentication request, the KDC
can issue an LDAP Compare request using the known credentials of
the user and the LDAP Password Policy control. The result of the request
will carry any relevant error codes if the account is disabled, the
password is expired, or various other failures. If preauthentication is
in use and the request is invalid, a Compare with known invalid
credentials may be used to update the password policy state.</t>

If the KDC is using LDAP requests to operate the

<section title="KeySet details">
<t>The krbKeySet attribute is multi-valued but it is expected that
it will usually only contain one value. During a password change operation
the KDC may choose to keep one previous value present to allow currently
active clients to continue to operate using the previous key. How long to
retain this old password is unspecified here. Note also that the LDAP
Password Policy mechanism already has provisions for password history
management, so the krbKeySet attribute should not be used for
long-term password history tracking.</t>

<section anchor="security" title="Security Considerations">
<t>This entire document is concerned with an implementation of a secure
distributed authentication mechanism. It should be understood that
the various keys used here are all sensitive pieces of data and must
be adequately protected using access controls and other mechanisms.
Likewise all communications between the KDC and DSA must be protected
whenever sensitive data is being referenced.</t>
<t>In common practice the KDC and DSA have been colocated on a
single host and communicated over a local
<xref target="I-D.chu-ldap-ldapi">LDAP IPC</xref> session. As such it was
implied that the host security was equivalent for both. If a KDC is
configured to use a remote DSA, the remote host should be
configured with at least the same level of security as the KDC host,
and a secure channel MUST be used for the LDAP session.</t>
<t>Storing the Master Key in the DSA makes it even more
crucial that the LDAP host, service, and data files be adequately
protected. Backups of the LDAP database should also be encrypted to
protect the integrity of any keys contained therein.</t>
