1. Abstract
The Kerberos [1] change password protocol [2], does not allow for
an administrator to set a password for a new user. This functionality
is useful in some environments, and this proposal extends [2] to
allow password setting. The changes are: adding new fields to the
request message to indicate the principal which is having its
password set, not requiring the initial flag in the service ticket,
using a new protocol version number, and adding three new result
codes.
2. The Protocol
The service must accept requests on UDP port 464 and TCP port 464 as
well. The protocol consists of a single request message followed by
a single reply message. For UDP transport, each message must be fully
contained in a single UDP packet.
For TCP transport, there is a 4 octet header in network byte order
precedes the message and specifies the length of the message. This
requirement is consistent with the TCP transport header in 1510bis.
Request Message
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

All 16 bit fields are in big-endian order.
message length field: contains the number of bytes in the message
including this field.
protocol version number: contains the hex constant 0xff80 (big-endian
integer).
AP-REQ length: length of AP-REQ data, in bytes. If the length is zero,
then the last field contains a KRB-ERROR message instead of a KRB-PRIV
message.
AP-REQ data: (see [1]) The AP-REQ message must be for the service
principal kadmin/changepw@REALM, where REALM is the REALM of the user
who wishes to change/set his password. The ticket in the AP-REQ must
must include a subkey in the Authenticator. To enable setting of
passwords, it is not required that the initial flag be set in the
Kerberos service ticket.
KRB-PRIV message (see [1]) This KRB-PRIV message must be generated
using the subkey from the authenticator in the AP-REQ data.
The user-data component of the message consists of the following ASN.1
structure encoded as an OCTET STRING:
ChangePasswdData ::= SEQUENCE {
newpasswd[0] OCTET STRING,
targname[2] PrincipalName OPTIONAL,
targrealm[3] Realm OPTIONAL
}
The server must verify the AP-REQ message, check whether the client
principal in the ticket is authorized to set/change the password
(either for that principal, or for the principal in the targname
field if present), and decrypt the new password. The server also
checks whether the initial flag is required for this request,
replying with status 0x0007 if it is not set and should be. An
authorization failure is cause to respond with status 0x0005. For
forward compatibility, the server should be prepared to ignore fields
after targrealm in the structure that it does not understand.
The newpasswd field contains the cleartext password, and the server
should apply any local policy checks including password policy checks.
The server then generates the appropriate keytypes from the password
and stores them in the KDC database. If all goes well, status 0x0000
is returned to the client in the reply message (see below).
Reply Message

All 16 bit fields are in big-endian order.
message length field: contains the number of bytes in the message
including this field.
protocol version number: contains the hex constant 0x0001 (big-endian
integer). (The reply message has the same format as in [2]).
AP-REP length: length of AP-REP data, in bytes. If the length is zero,
then the last field contains a KRB-ERROR message instead of a KRB-PRIV
message.
AP-REP data: the AP-REP is the response to the AP-REQ in the request
packet.
KRB-PRIV from [2]: This KRB-PRIV message must be generated using the
subkey in the authenticator in the AP-REQ data.
The server will respond with a KRB-PRIV message unless it cannot
decode the client AP-REQ or KRB-PRIV message, in which case it will
respond with a KRB-ERROR message. NOTE: Unlike change password version
1, the KRB-ERROR message will be sent back without any encapsulation.
The user-data component of the KRB-PRIV message, or e-data component
of the KRB-ERROR message, must consist of the following data.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| result code | result string /
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
result code (16 bits) (result codes 0-4 are from [2]):
The result code must have one of the following values (big-
endian integer):
KRB5_KPASSWD_SUCCESS 0 request succeeds (This value is not
allowed in a KRB-ERROR message)
KRB5_KPASSWD_MALFORMED 1 request fails due to being malformed
KRB5_KPASSWD_HARDERROR 2 request fails due to "hard" error in
processing the request (for example,
there is a resource or other problem
causing the request to fail)
KRB5_KPASSWD_AUTHERROR 3 request fails due to an error in
authentication processing
KRB5_KPASSWD_SOFTERROR 4 request fails due to a "soft" error
in processing the request
KRB5_KPASSWD_ACCESSDENIED 5 requestor not authorized
KRB5_KPASSWD_BAD_VERSION 6 protocol version unsupported
KRB5_KPASSWD_INITIAL_FLAG_NEEDED 7 initial flag required
0xFFFF if the request fails for some other reason.
Although only a few non-zero result codes are specified here,
the client should accept any non-zero result code as indicating
failure.
result string - from [2]:
This field should contain information which the server thinks
might be useful to the user, such as feedback about policy
failures. The string must be encoded in UTF-8. It may be
omitted if the server does not wish to include it. If it is
present, the client should display the string to the user.
This field is analogous to the string which follows the numeric
code in SMTP, FTP, and similar protocols.
