Kerberos Protocol Tools

The following tools are associated with administering and troubleshooting the Kerberos version 5 authentication protocol.

Domain.msc: Active Directory Domains and Trusts

Category

Active Directory Domains and Trusts is an MMC snap-in that is installed automatically on computers running Windows Server 2003 when you install Active Directory. You can also use this tool on non-domain controllers by installing the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools pack. You can start Active Directory Domains and Trusts in the following way: Click Start, then click Programs,then click Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Domains and Trusts.

Version compatibility

This tool is compatible with domain controllers running Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition; Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, and Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition. You can also use Active Directory Domains and Trusts with the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools pack to remotely administer Active Directory from a computer that is not a domain controller, such as a computer running Windows XP Professional. You can use this tool to target any domain controller in either Windows 2000 Server or Windows Server 2003 domains.

Note

  • When using Windows Server 2003 Active Directory administrative tools to connect to a domain controller running Windows 2000, you must first be sure that the Windows 2000–based domain controller to which you are connecting has Service Pack 3 or later installed. This is because Windows Server 2003 administrative tools sign and encrypt all Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) traffic by default.

Active Directory Domains and Trusts provides a graphical interface in which you can view all domains in the forest. Using this tool, an administrator can manage each of the domains in the forest, trust relationships between domains, configure the functional level for each domain or forest, and configure the alternative user principal name (UPN) suffixes for a forest.

Active Directory Domains and Trusts can be used to create, view, and modify most trust-related tasks. It can be used to target all Active Directory domain controllers and can verify all Active Directory trust types. Trust verification takes place between two domains by enumerating all of the domain controllers in each domain. If you choose to have Active Directory Domains and Trusts create both sides of the trust at once, the trust password is automatically generated.

You can find more information about Active Directory Domains and Trusts on Microsoft TechNet.

Dsa.msc: Active Directory Users and Computers

Category

Active Directory Users and Computers is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that is automatically installed when you install Active Directory. Dsa.msc is also included with the Administration Tools Pack (Adminpak.msi).

You can access the tool from the Start menu: Click Start, click Programs,click Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.

Version compatibility

Active Directory Users and Computers runs on domain controllers that are running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000. In both of these server systems, MMC provides a window in the user interface where you can add, configure, and control items. Active Directory Users and Computers is the MMC tool that you can use to administer and publish information in the directory.

The Windows Server 2003 version of Active Directory Users and Computers can target domain controllers that are running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000.

On administrative workstations that are running Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000, you can install the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack (Adminpak.msi) from the i386 folder on the Windows Server 2003 CD. This version of the Administration Tools Pack encrypts and signs LDAP traffic between the administrative tool clients and domain controllers.

Note

  • You cannot run the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack (Adminpak.msi) on a computer that is running Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, or Windows XP 64-Bit Edition Version 2003 without Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1).

You can use Active Directory Users and Computers to manage the following properties associated with objects. Your managing the properties will affect Kerberos V5 authentication for these objects.

Active Directory Users and Computers Object Management

Property Changes That Affect Kerberos V5 Authentication

Computer objects

Trust computer for delegation

The service can impersonate a user to use other network services. Allows services running as local system to request services from other services.

Computer objects delegation tab options

(This tab will only appear in domains with Windows Server 2003 Functional Level.)

Do not trust this computer for delegation

Trust this computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)

Not recommended. This enables unconstrained delegation.

Trust this computer for delegation to specified services only

  • Use Kerberos only: Enables constrained delegation without protocol transition.

  • Use any authentication protocol: Enables constrained delegation with protocol transition

User or service objects account tab options

Account is trusted for delegation

The account is enabled for delegation. This is a security-sensitive setting. Accounts with this option enabled should be tightly controlled. This setting enables a service that runs under the account to assume a client’s identity and authenticate as that user to remote servers on the network.

Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated

When this flag is set, the security context of the user is not delegated to a service even if the service account is set as trusted for Kerberos delegation.

Use DES encryption types for this account

Restrict this principal to use only Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption types for keys. If a user account is configured to use DES encryption, a Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003–based client requests a ticket-granting ticket (TGT) by using the DES-CBC-MD5 encryption type.

Do not require Kerberos pre-authentication

Overrides the default setting that the KDC requires all accounts to use pre-authentication. The default setting makes offline password-guessing attacks very difficult. You can choose to override the default setting for individual accounts when necessary for compatibility with other implementations of the protocol.

User or service objects delegation tab options

(This tab will only appear on accounts with registered SPNs in domains with Windows Server 2003 Functional Level.)

Do not trust this user for delegation

 

Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)

Not recommended. This enables unconstrained delegation.

Trust this user for delegation to specified services only

  • Use Kerberos only: Enables constrained delegation without protocol transition.

  • Use any authentication protocol: Enables constrained delegation with protocol transition.

Kerbtray.exe: Kerberos Tray

Category

Kerberos Tray is included in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit and the Windows 2000 Resource Kit.

Version compatibility

Kerberos Tray is supported for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.

Kerberos Tray is a graphical user interface tool that displays ticket information for a computer running Microsoft’s implementation of the Kerberos version 5 authentication protocol.

You can view and purge the ticket cache by using the Kerberos Tray tool icon located in the notification area of the desktop. By positioning the cursor over the icon, you can view the time left until the initial ticket-granting ticket (TGT) expires. The icon also changes in the hour before the Local Security Authority (LSA) renews the ticket.

To find more information about Kerberos Tray, see “Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools Help in the Tools and Settings Collection.”

Klist.exe: Kerberos List

Category

Kerberos List is included in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit and the Windows 2000 Resource Kit.

Version compatibility

Kerberos List is supported for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.

Kerberos List is a command-line tool that is used to view and delete Kerberos tickets granted to the current logon session. To use Kerberos List to view tickets, you must run the tool on a computer that is a member of a Kerberos realm.

When Kerberos List is run from a client, it shows the:

  • Ticket-granting ticket (TGT) to a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) in Windows.

  • Ticket-granting ticket (TGT) to Ksserver on UNIX.

Parameters

Kerberos List uses the following syntax:

klist [tickets | tgt | purge] [-?]
Tickets

Lists the current cached tickets of services to which you have authenticated since logging on. Displays the following attributes of all cached tickets:

Option Description

End Time

Time at which that the ticket becomes invalid. After a ticket is past this time, it cannot be used to authenticate to a service.

KerbTicket Encryption Type

Encryption type used to encrypt the Kerberos ticket.

Renew Time

Maximum lifetime of a renewable ticket (see TicketFlags in the table below). To continue using this ticket, you must renew it before reaching the established End Time and before the expiration date established in RenewUntil.

Server

Server and domain for the ticket.

tgt

Lists the initial Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT). Displays the following attributes of the currently cached ticket:

Option Description

AltTargetDomainName

Name supplied to InitializeSecurityContext that generated this ticket, typically a service principal name (SPN).

DomainName

Domain name of the service.

End Time

Time when the ticket becomes invalid. When a ticket is past the end time, it cannot be used to authenticate to a service.

FullServiceName

Canonical name of the account principal for the service.

KeyExpirationTime

Expiration time from the KDC reply.

RenewUntil Maximum lifetime of a renewable ticket (see TicketFlags)

To continue using a ticket, you must renew it. Tickets must be renewed before the expiration time set in End Time and in RenewUntil.

ServiceName

A TGT is a ticket for the Key Distribution Center (KDC) service. The service name for a TGT is “krbtgt.”

Start time

Time when the ticket becomes valid.

TargetDomainName

For a cross-realm ticket, this is the realm, rather than the issuing realm, in which the ticket is good.

TargetName

Service name for which the ticket was requested. This is the name of a servicePrincipalName property on an account in the directory.

TicketFlags

Kerberos ticket flags set on the current ticket in hexadecimal. Kerberos Tray displays these flags on the Flags tab.

TimeSkew

The reported time difference between the client computer and the server computer for a ticket.

purge

Will list each ticket and enables you to delete specific tickets. When you choose Yes to a ticket, then purge tickets destroys the ticket that you have cached, so use this with caution. It might stop you from being able to authenticate to resources. If this happens, you must log off and then log on again.

-?

Displays command-line help.

To find more information about Kerberos List, see “Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools Help” in the Tools and Settings Collection.

Ksetup.exe: Kerberos Setup

Category

Kerberos Setup is included in the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools.

Version compatibility

Kerberos Setup is supported for Windows Server 2003.

Kerberos Setup is a command-line tool you can use to configure Windows for Kerberos V5 interoperability. Kerberos Setup configures a client connected to a server running Windows Server 2003 to use a server running the Kerberos V5 authentication protocol. After Kerberos Setup configures the client, the client then uses a Kerberos V5 realm instead of a Windows Server 2003 domain. This provides a single sign-on to the Key Distribution Center (KDC) and a local client account connected to a computer running Windows Server 2003.

Administrators can use Kerberos Setup to:

  • Set up a realm entry for a Kerberos V5 realm.

  • Set up a list of KDCs for the Kerberos V5 realm for which you set up a realm entry.

  • Set up a kpasswd server for the Kerberos V5 realm for which you set up a realm entry.

  • Set up local account to Kerberos V5 account mappings.

  • Set the computer’s password in the Kerberos realm.

  • Change a user’s password in a Kerberos V5 realm.

To find more information about Kerberos Setup, see “Support Tools Help” in the Tools and Settings Collection.

Ktpass.exe: Kerberos Keytab Setup

Category

Kerberos Keytab Setup is included in the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools.

Version compatibility

Kerberos Keytab Setup is supported for Windows Server 2003.

Kerberos Keytab Setup is a command-line tool that enables an administrator to configure a non-Windows Kerberos service as a security principal in the Windows Server 2003 Active Directory. Kerberos Keytab Setup configures the server principal name for the host or service in Active Directory and generates an MIT-style Kerberos keytab file containing the shared secret key of the service. The tool enables non-Windows brand operating system services that support Kerberos authentication to use the interoperability features provided by the Kerberos KDC service that runs on Windows Server 2003.

To find more information about Kerberos Keytab Setup, see “Support Tools Help” in the Tools and Settings Collection.

Netdom.exe: Windows Domain Manager

Category

Windows Domain Manager is included in Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, and the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack (Adminpak.msi).

Version compatibility

Windows Domain Manager is supported for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.

On administrative workstations that are running Windows XP Professional, you can install the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack (Adminpak.msi) from the i386 directory on the Windows Server 2003 CD. Please see the note in the Active Directory Users and Computers subsection above regarding the Administration Tools Pack.

The Windows Server 2003 version of Windows Domain Manager can target domain controllers that are running Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000.

This tool enables you to manage Active Directory domains and trust relationships from the command line.

Functions of Windows Domain Manager that relate to Kerberos authentication include:

  • Establishing one-way or two-way trust relationships between domains, such as:

    • From an Active Directory domain to an Active Directory domain in another enterprise (also know as an uplevel external trust).

    • Between two Active Directory domains in an enterprise (a shortcut trust).

    • The Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server half of an interoperable Kerberos realm.

  • Managing trust relationships between domains, including:

    • Enumerating direct and indirect trust relationships.

    • Viewing and changing some attributes on a trust — for example, transitivity to non-Windows Kerberos realms.

To find more information about Windows Domain Manager, see “Support Tools Help” in the Tools and Settings Collection.

Netmon.exe: Network Monitor

Category

A limited version of Network Monitor is included in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. The full version of Network Monitor is included with Microsoft Systems Management Server.

Version compatibility

Network Monitor is supported for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.

Network Monitor enables you to capture network traces which can be used in troubleshooting most network issues.

Setspn.exe: Manipulate Service Principal Names for Accounts

Category

Setspn is included in the Windows Server 2003 Support Tools.

Version compatibility

Setspn is supported for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP Professional.

This command-line tool sets service principal names. SPNs are used to locate a target principal name for running a service. Because SPNs are security-sensitive, SPNs can only be set for user objects if you have domain administrator credentials.

It is not usually necessary to modify SPNs. They are set up by a computer when it joins a domain and when services are installed on the computer. In some cases, however, this information can become stale. For example, if the computer name is changed, the SPNs for installed services would need to be changed to match the new computer name. Also, some services and applications might require manual modification of a service account’s SPN information to correctly authenticate.

Domain administrators can use Setspn to:

  • View the current SPNs.

  • Reset the account’s default SPNs.

  • Add SPNs.

  • Delete supplemental SPNs.

To find more information about Setspn, see “Support Tools Help” in the Tools and Settings Collection.

Kerberos Protocol Registry Settings

Registry settings in the following hives are associated with the Kerberos protocol:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Domains

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\HostToRealm

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\UserList

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\System

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc

The information here is provided as a reference for use in troubleshooting or verifying that the required settings are applied. It is recommended that you do not directly edit the registry unless there is no other alternative. Modifications to the registry are not validated by the registry editor or by Windows before they are applied, and as a result, incorrect values can be stored. This can result in unrecoverable errors in the system. When possible, instead of editing the registry directly, use Group Policy or other Windows tools such as MMC to accomplish tasks. If you must edit the registry, use extreme caution.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Domains

The Domains subkey stores information about non-Windows Kerberos realms.

To change the value of the entries in this subkey, use Kerberos Setup (Ksetup.exe), a tool included in Windows Server 2003 Support Tools. Do not use the registry editor.

KdcDontCheckAddresses

Registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc

Version

Windows Server 2003

This entry controls whether the KDC checks if the client IP addresses match one of the IP addresses in the TGT Caddr field.

  • If the entry does not exist or if DWORD = 0, client addresses are checked.

  • If DWORD = 1, client addresses are not checked.

The client must send the IP address in the KRB_TGS_REQ, which is not done by default in Windows operating systems. To enable sending IP addresses as a Kerberos client, see “ClientIpAddresses” earlier in this guide. This entry does not exist in the registry by default. The default value is true due to potential DHCP and NAT issues.

KdcExtraLogLevel

Registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc

Version

Windows Server 2003

This entry controls extra KDC logging in event logs and audits. This entry does not exist in the registry by default. The default value is 2.

KdcIssueForwardedTickets

Registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc

Version

Windows Server 2003

This entry controls whether the KDC issues forwarded tickets. This entry does not exist in the registry by default. The default value is true.

KdcUseClientAddresses

Registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc

Version

Windows Server 2003

This entry controls whether the KDC accepts client IP addresses in the KRB_AS_REQ:

  • If the entry does not exist or if DWORD = 0, client IP addresses are not accepted.

  • If DWORD = 1, client IP addresses are accepted.

In order for the KDC to propagate the client IP addresses, the client must send them in the KRB_TGS_REQ, which does not occur by default in Windows operating systems. To enable sending IP addresses as a Kerberos client, see “ClientIpAddresses” earlier in this guide. This entry does not exist in the registry by default. The default value is false due to potential DHCP and NAT issues.

KdcUseRequestedEtypesForTickets

Registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc

Version

Windows Server 2003

This entry controls whether the encryption type for the service ticket is:

  • The first encryption type in the requested encryption types, if true.

  • The strongest encryption type that the server supports, if false.

This entry does not exist in the registry by default. The default value is false.

MaxDatagramReplySize

Registry path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Kdc

Version

Windows Server 2003

This entry controls the maximum size, in bytes, of a UDP packet for the KRB_TGS_REP and KRB_AS_REP, before the KDC returns a KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG error, which requires the client to change to TCP. This entry does not exist in the registry by default. The default value is 1465 bytes.

Kerberos Authentication Group Policy Settings

The following table lists and describes the Group Policy settings that are associated with Kerberos V5 Authentication.

Group Policy Settings Associated with Kerberos V5 Authentication

Group Policy Setting Description

User Rights Assignment:

 

Impersonate a client after authentication

Windows 2000 security setting that was first introduced in SP4 for Windows 2000. When you assign this user right to a user, you permit programs that run on behalf of that user to impersonate a client. This security setting helps to prevent unauthorized servers from impersonating clients that connect to it through methods such as remote procedure calls (RPC) or named pipes.

By default, members of the Administrators group and the System account are assigned this user right. The following components also are assigned this user right:

  • Services that are started by the Service Control Manager

  • Component Object Model (COM) servers that are started by the COM infrastructure and that are configured to run under a specific account

Kerberos Policy:

 

Enforce user logon restrictions

Determines whether the KDC validates every request for a session ticket against the user rights policy on the target computer. When this policy is enabled, the user requesting the session ticket must have the right either to Log on locally or to Access this computer from network. Validation of each request is optional because the extra step takes time and might slow network access to services. By default, this policy is enabled.

Maximum lifetime for service ticket

Determines the maximum amount of time (in minutes) that a ticket granted for a service (that is, a session ticket) can be used to access the service. If the setting is zero minutes, the ticket never expires. Otherwise, the setting must be greater than ten minutes and less than the setting for Maximum lifetime for user ticket. By default, the setting is 600 minutes (10 hours).

Maximum lifetime for user ticket

Determines the maximum amount of time (in hours) that a user’s TGT can be used. When a user’s TGT expires, a new one must be requested or the existing one must be renewed. By default, the setting is ten hours.

Maximum lifetime for user ticket renewal

Determines the longest period of time (in days) that a TGT can be used if it is repeatedly renewed. By default, the setting is seven days.

Maximum tolerance for computer clock synchronization

Determines the maximum difference (in minutes) that Kerberos will tolerate between the time on a client’s clock and the time on a server’s clock while still considering the two clocks synchronous. By default, the setting is five minutes.

For more information about these Group Policy settings, see “Account Policy Settings.”
