Description Adam Young 2011-08-13 00:56:23 UTC

Description of problem:

libcurl lost and recently regained the ability to do Kerberos TGT forwarding
via GSSAPI Delegation.  However, the ability to do this has not extended to the
Command line tool

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
curl-7.21.3-9.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Attempt to Use Curl against an application that requires TGT Delegation,
such as IPA.

Actual results:
Error from the server stating TGT was not provided


Expected results:
Normal functioning

Additional info:
This has been fixed upstream in:

https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/5538904d775161d1a0fa3ebb77

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-08-13 01:27:51 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

How can one use curl this way?  Please provide a self-contained step by step howto.

Comment 4 Adam Young 2011-08-15 01:53:34 UTC

It depends on  the web Server:  If the server requires TGT forwarding, it will fail if the Ticket is not forwarded.

The easiest way to test is to install Enterprise IPA and attempt to contact it like this:

curl -v  \
         -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
         -H "Accept:applicaton/json"\
         --negotiate -u : \
         --cacert /etc/ipa/ca.crt  \
         -d  '{"method":"user_find","params":[[""],{}],"id":0}' \
         -X POST       https://`hostname`/ipa/json

As documented here:

This worked until GSSAPI Delegation was removed due to the security vulnerability reported here:

http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-07/0054.html

in RHSA-2011:0918-01

The library has been modified to once again allow GSSAPI delegation, but it is deliberate.  The feature is not yet available in the CLI, which technically is a regression.

Comment 5 Kamil Dudka 2011-08-15 09:29:13 UTC

I somehow overlooked the note about the already added upstream option for this feature.  Then there is no problem in carrying the option to RHEL-6.
