RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0393 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE curl bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 20:51:32 UTC

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:

http://adam.younglogic.com/2010/07/talking-to-freeipa-json-web-api-via-curl/


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.
