11 The Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) pro-
12 vides security services to callers in a generic fashion, supportable with
13 a range of underlying mechanisms and technologies and hence allowing
14 source-level portability of applications to different environments.
15
16 The GSS-API implementation in Heimdal implements the Kerberos 5 and the
17 SPNEGO GSS-API security mechanisms.

68 The HHeeiimmddaall GSS-API implementation had a bug in releases before 0.6 that
69 made it fail to inter-operate when using DES3 with other GSS-API imple-
70 mentations when using ggssss__ggeett__mmiicc() / ggssss__vveerriiffyy__mmiicc(). It is possible
71 to modify the behavior of the generator of the MIC with the _k_r_b_5_._c_o_n_f
72 configuration file so that old clients/servers will still work.
73
74 New clients/servers will try both the old and new MIC in Heimdal 0.6. In
75 0.7 it will check only if configured - the compatibility code will be
76 removed in 0.8.
77
78 Heimdal 0.6 still generates by default the broken GSS-API DES3 mic, this
79 will change in 0.7 to generate correct des3 mic.
80
81 To turn on compatibility with older clients and servers, change the
82 [[ggssssaappii]] _b_r_o_k_e_n___d_e_s_3___m_i_c in _k_r_b_5_._c_o_n_f that contains a list of globbing
83 expressions that will be matched against the server name. To turn off
84 generation of the old (incompatible) mic of the MIC use [[ggssssaappii]]
85 _c_o_r_r_e_c_t___d_e_s_3___m_i_c.
86
87 If a match for a entry is in both [[ggssssaappii]] _c_o_r_r_e_c_t___d_e_s_3___m_i_c and [[ggssssaappii]]
88 _b_r_o_k_e_n___d_e_s_3___m_i_c, the later will override.
89
90 This config option modifies behaviour for both clients and servers.
91
92 Microsoft implemented SPNEGO to Windows2000, however, they managed to get
93 it wrong, their implementation didn't fill in the MechListMIC in the
94 reply token with the right content. There is a work around for this
95 problem, but not all implementation support it.
96
97 Heimdal defaults to correct SPNEGO when the the kerberos implementation
98 uses CFX, or when it is configured by the user. To turn on compatibility
99 with peers, use option [[ggssssaappii]] _r_e_q_u_i_r_e___m_e_c_h_l_i_s_t___m_i_c.

109 All of 0.5.x versions of hheeiimmddaall had broken token delegations in the
110 client side, the server side was correct.
