MIT Kerberos is a project of the MIT Kerberos Consortium.  For more
information about the Kerberos Consortium, see http://kerberos.org/

Building and Installing Kerberos 5
----------------------------------

The first file you should look at is doc/install-guide.ps; it contains
the notes for building and installing Kerberos 5.  The info file
krb5-install.info has the same information in info file format.  You
can view this using the GNU emacs info-mode, or by using the
standalone info file viewer from the Free Software Foundation.  This
is also available as an HTML file, install.html.

Other good files to look at are admin-guide.ps and user-guide.ps,
which contain the system administrator's guide, and the user's guide,
respectively.  They are also available as info files
kerberos-admin.info and krb5-user.info, respectively.  These files are
also available as HTML files.

If you are attempting to build under Windows, please see the
src/windows/README file.

Reporting Bugs
--------------

Please report any problems/bugs/comments using the krb5-send-pr
program.  The krb5-send-pr program will be installed in the sbin
directory once you have successfully compiled and installed Kerberos
V5 (or if you have installed one of our binary distributions).

If you are not able to use krb5-send-pr because you haven't been able
compile and install Kerberos V5 on any platform, you may send mail to
krb5-bugs@mit.edu.

Please keep in mind that unencrypted e-mail is not secure. If you need
to report a security vulnerability, or send sensitive information,
please PGP-encrypt it to krbcore-security@mit.edu.

You may view bug reports by visiting

    http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/

and logging in as "guest" with password "guest".

DES transition
--------------

The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as weak.  The
krb5-1.7 release contains measures to encourage sites to migrate away
from using single-DES cryptosystems.  Among these is a configuration
variable that enables "weak" enctypes, which defaults to "false"
beginning with krb5-1.8.

Major changes in 1.10.1
-----------------------

This is a bugfix release.

* Fix access controls for KDB string attributes [CVE-2012-1012]

* Make the ASN.1 encoding of key version numbers interoperate with
  Windows Read-Only Domain Controllers

* Avoid generating spurious password expiry warnings in cases where
  the KDC sends an account expiry time without a password expiry time.

krb5-1.10.1 changes by ticket ID
--------------------------------

7074    workaround for Solaris 8 lacking isblank
7081    Don't use stack variable address in as_req state
7082    Various lookaside cache fixes
7084    Don't check mech in krb5_gss_inquire_cred_by_mech

7089    Initialize gss_get_name_attribute output buffers
7092    kvno ASN.1 encoding interop with Windows RODCs
7093    Access controls for string RPCs [CVE-2012-1012]

and

Code quality:

* Fix MITKRB5-SA-2011-006 and MITKRB5-SA-2011-007 KDC denial of
  service vulnerabilities [CVE-2011-1527 CVE-2011-1528 CVE-2011-1529
  CVE-2011-1530].

* Update the Fortuna implementation to more accurately implement the
  description in _Cryptography Engineering_, and make it the default
  PRNG.

* Add an alternative PRNG that relies on the OS native PRNG.

Developer experience:

* Add the ability for GSSAPI servers to use any keytab key for a
  specified service, if the server specifies a host-based name with no
  hostname component.

* In the build system, identify the source files needed for
  per-message processing within a kernel and ensure that they remain
  independent.

* Allow rd_safe and rd_priv to ignore the remote address.

* Rework KDC and kadmind networking code to use an event loop
  architecture.

* Add a plugin interface for providing configuration information.

Administrator experience:

* Add more complete support for renaming principals.

* Add the profile variable ignore_acceptor_hostname in libdefaults. If
  set, GSSAPI will ignore the hostname component of acceptor names
  supplied by the server, allowing any keytab key matching the service
  to be used.

* Add support for string attributes on principal entries.

* Allow password changes to work over NATs.

End-user experience:

* Add the DIR credential cache type, which can hold a collection of
  credential caches.

* Enhance kinit, klist, and kdestroy to support credential cache
  collections if the cache type supports it.

* Add the kswitch command, which changes the selected default cache
  within a collection.

* Add heuristic support for choosing client credentials based on the
  service realm.

* Add support for $HOME/.k5identity, which allows credential choice
  based on configured rules.

* Add support for localization. (No translations are provided in this
  release, but the infrastructure is present for redistributors to
  supply them.)

Protocol evolution:

* Make PKINIT work with FAST in the client library.
