The - reply from the KDC should consist of the length of the reply packet - (4 bytes, network byte order) followed by the packet itself (AS-REP, - TGS-REP, or KRB-ERROR). - - - - -Westerlund, Danielsson [Page 1] - -Internet Draft Kerberos over TCP November, 1997 - - - C->S: Open connection to TCP port 88 at the server - C->S: length of request - C->S: AS-REQ or TGS-REQ - S->C: length of reply - S->C: AS-REP, TGS-REP, or KRB-ERROR - -Discussion - - Even though the preferred way of sending kerberos packets is over UDP - there are several occasions when it's more practical to use TCP. - - Mainly, it's usually much less cumbersome to get TCP through - firewalls than UDP. - - In theory, there's no reason for having explicit length fields, that - information is already encoded in the ASN1 encoding of the Kerberos - packets. But having explicit lengths makes it unnecessary to have to - decode the ASN.1 encoding just to know how much data has to be read. - - Another way of signaling the end of the request of the reply would be - to do a half-close after the request and a full-close after the - reply. This does not work well with all kinds of firewalls. - -Security considerations - - This memo does not introduce any known security considerations in - addition to those mentioned in [RFC1510]. - -References - - [RFC1510] Kohl, J. and Neuman, C., "The Kerberos Network - Authentication Service (V5)", RFC 1510, September 1993. - -Authors' Addresses - - Assar Westerlund - Swedish Institute of Computer Science - Box 1263 - S-164 29 KISTA - Sweden - - Phone: +46-8-7521526 - Fax: +46-8-7517230 - EMail: assar@sics.se - - Johan Danielsson - PDC, KTH - S-100 44 STOCKHOLM - - - -Westerlund, Danielsson [Page 2] - -Internet Draft Kerberos over TCP November, 1997 - - - Sweden - - Phone: +46-8-7907885 - Fax: +46-8-247784 - EMail: joda@pdc.kth.se - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Westerlund, Danielsson [Page 3] - |
