several new kerberos related libraries and applications to FreeBSD:
o kgetcred(1) allows one to manually get a ticket for a particular service.
o kf(1) securily forwards ticket to another host through an authenticated
and encrypted stream.
o kcc(1) is an umbrella program around klist(1), kswitch(1), kgetcred(1)
and other user kerberos operations. klist and kswitch are just symlinks
to kcc(1) now.
o kswitch(1) allows you to easily switch between kerberos credentials if
you're running KCM.
o hxtool(1) is a certificate management tool to use with PKINIT.
o string2key(1) maps a password into key.
o kdigest(8) is a userland tool to access the KDC's digest interface.
o kimpersonate(8) creates a "fake" ticket for a service.
We also now install manpages for some lirbaries that were not installed
before, libheimntlm and libhx509.
- The new HEIMDAL version no longer supports Kerberos 4. All users are
recommended to switch to Kerberos 5.
- Weak ciphers are now disabled by default. To enable DES support (used
by telnet(8)), use "allow_weak_crypto" option in krb5.conf.
- libtelnet, pam_ksu and pam_krb5 are now compiled with error on warnings
disabled due to the function they use (krb5_get_err_text(3)) being
deprecated. I plan to work on this next.
- Heimdal's KDC now require sqlite to operate. We use the bundled version
and install it as libheimsqlite. If some other FreeBSD components will
require it in the future we can rename it to libbsdsqlite and use for these
components as well.
- This is not a latest Heimdal version, the new one was released while I was
working on the update. I will update it to 1.5.2 soon, as it fixes some
important bugs and security issues.

Status of this Memo
|
||
|
||
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
|
||
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
|
||
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
|
||
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
|
||
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract
|
||
|
||
This document describes how to prepare internationalized domain name
|
||
(IDN) labels in order to increase the likelihood that name input and
|
||
name comparison work in ways that make sense for typical users
|
||
throughout the world. This profile of the stringprep protocol is
|
||
used as part of a suite of on-the-wire protocols for
|
||
internationalizing the Domain Name System (DNS).
|
||
|
||
1. Introduction
|
||
|
||
This document specifies processing rules that will allow users to
|
||
enter internationalized domain names (IDNs) into applications and
|
||
have the highest chance of getting the content of the strings
|
||
correct. It is a profile of stringprep [STRINGPREP]. These
|
||
processing rules are only intended for internationalized domain
|
||
names, not for arbitrary text.
|
||
|
||
This profile defines the following, as required by [STRINGPREP].
|
||
|
||
- The intended applicability of the profile: internationalized
|
||
domain names processed by IDNA.
|
||
|
||
- The character repertoire that is the input and output to
|
||
stringprep: Unicode 3.2, specified in section 2.

||
|
||
RFC 3491 IDN Nameprep March 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
- The mappings used: specified in section 3.
|
||
|
||
- The Unicode normalization used: specified in section 4.
|
||
|
||
- The characters that are prohibited as output: specified in section
|
||
5.
|
||
|
||
- Bidirectional character handling: specified in section 6.
|
||
|
||
1.1 Interaction of protocol parts
|
||
|
||
Nameprep is used by the IDNA [IDNA] protocol for preparing domain
|
||
names; it is not designed for any other purpose. It is explicitly
|
||
not designed for processing arbitrary free text and SHOULD NOT be
|
||
used for that purpose. Nameprep is a profile of Stringprep
|
||
[STRINGPREP]. Implementations of Nameprep MUST fully implement
|
||
Stringprep.
|
||
|
||
Nameprep is used to process domain name labels, not domain names.
|
||
IDNA calls nameprep for each label in a domain name, not for the
|
||
whole domain name.
|
||
|
||
1.2 Terminology
|
||
|
||
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", and "MAY"
|
||
in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC
|
||
2119 [RFC2119].
|
||
|
||
2. Character Repertoire
|
||
|
||
This profile uses Unicode 3.2, as defined in [STRINGPREP] Appendix A.
|
||
|
||
3. Mapping
|
||
|
||
This profile specifies mapping using the following tables from
|
||
[STRINGPREP]:
|
||
|
||
Table B.1
|
||
Table B.2
|
||
|
||
4. Normalization
|
||
|
||
This profile specifies using Unicode normalization form KC, as
|
||
described in [STRINGPREP].

||

||

RFC 3491 IDN Nameprep March 2003
|
||
|
||
|
||
5. Prohibited Output
|
||
|
||
This profile specifies prohibiting using the following tables from
|
||
[STRINGPREP]:
|
||
|
||
Table C.1.2
|
||
Table C.2.2
|
||
Table C.3
|
||
Table C.4
|
||
Table C.5
|
||
Table C.6
|
||
Table C.7
|
||
Table C.8
|
||
Table C.9
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANT NOTE: This profile MUST be used with the IDNA protocol.
|
||
The IDNA protocol has additional prohibitions that are checked
|
||
outside of this profile.
|
||
|
||
6. Bidirectional characters
|
||
|
||
This profile specifies checking bidirectional strings as described in
|
||
[STRINGPREP] section 6.
|
||
|
||
7. Unassigned Code Points in Internationalized Domain Names
|
||
|
||
If the processing in [IDNA] specifies that a list of unassigned code
|
||
points be used, the system uses table A.1 from [STRINGPREP] as its
|
||
list of unassigned code points.

||
|
||

|
||

|
||
November 1987.
|
||
|
||
9. Security Considerations
|
||
|
||
The Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646 repertoires have many characters that
|
||
look similar. In many cases, users of security protocols might do
|
||
visual matching, such as when comparing the names of trusted third
|
||
parties. Because it is impossible to map similar-looking characters
|
||
without a great deal of context such as knowing the fonts used,
|
||
stringprep does nothing to map similar-looking characters together
|
||
nor to prohibit some characters because they look like others.
|
||
|
||
Security on the Internet partly relies on the DNS. Thus, any change
|
||
to the characteristics of the DNS can change the security of much of
|
||
the Internet.
|
||
|
||
Domain names are used by users to connect to Internet servers. The
|
||
security of the Internet would be compromised if a user entering a
|
||
single internationalized name could be connected to different servers
|
||
based on different interpretations of the internationalized domain
|
||
name.
|
||
|
||
Current applications might assume that the characters allowed in
|
||
domain names will always be the same as they are in [STD13]. This
|
||
document vastly increases the number of characters available in
|
||
domain names. Every program that uses "special" characters in
|
||
conjunction with domain names may be vulnerable to attack based on
|
||
the new characters allowed by this specification.

10. IANA Considerations
|
||
|
||
This is a profile of stringprep. It has been registered by the IANA
|
||
in the stringprep profile registry
|
||
(www.iana.org/assignments/stringprep-profiles).
|
||
|
||
Name of this profile:
|
||
Nameprep
|
||
|
||
RFC in which the profile is defined:
|
||
This document.
|
||
|
||
Indicator whether or not this is the newest version of the
|
||
profile:
|
||
This is the first version of Nameprep.
