SPNEGO (kerberos token generation/validation) for SSO using Python

问题

I'm attempting to implement a simple Single Sign On scenario where some of the participating servers will be windows (IIS) boxes. It looks like SPNEGO is a reasonable path for this.

Here's the scenario:

• User logs in to my SSO service using his username and password. I authenticate him using some mechanism.
• At some later time the user wants to access App A.
  • The user's request for App A is intercepted by the SSO service. The SSO service uses SPNEGO to log the user in to App A:
    • The SSO service hits the App A web page, gets a "WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate" response
    • The SSO service generates a "Authorization: Negotiate xxx" response on behalf of the user, responds to App A. The user is now logged in to App A.
  • The SSO service intercepts subsequent user requests for App A, inserting the Authorization header into them before passing them on to App A.

Does that sound right?

I need two things (at least that I can think of now):

• the ability to generate the "Authorization: Negotiate xxx" token on behalf of the user, preferably using Python
• the ability to validate "Authorization: Negotiate xxx" headers in Python (for a later part of the project)

This is exactly what Apple does with its Calendar Server. They have a python gssapi library for the kerberos part of the process, in order to implement SPNEGO.

Look in CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/authkerb.py for the server auth portion. The kerberos module (which is a c module), doesn't have any useful docstrings, but PyKerberos/pysrc/kerberos.py has all the function definitions.

Here's the urls for the svn trunks:

Take a look at the http://spnego.sourceforge.net/credential_delegation.html tutorial. It seems to be doing what you are trying to do.

I've been searching quite some time for something similar (on Linux), that has lead me to this page several times, yet giving no answer. So here is my solution, I came up with:

The web-server is a Apache with mod_auth_kerb. It is already running in a Active Directory, single sign-on setup since quite some time. What I was already able to do before:

• Using chromium with single sign on on Linux (with a proper krb5 setup, with working kinit user@domain)
• Having python connect and single sign on using sspi from the pywin32 package, with something like sspi.ClientAuth("Negotiate", targetspn="http/%s" % host)

The following code snippet completes the puzzle (and my needs), having Python single sign on with Kerberos on Linux (using python-gssapi):

in_token=base64.b64decode(neg_value)
service_name = gssapi.Name("HTTP@%s" % host, gssapi.C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE)
spnegoMechOid = gssapi.oids.OID.mech_from_string("1.3.6.1.5.5.2")
ctx = gssapi.InitContext(service_name,mech_type=spnegoMechOid)
out_token = ctx.step(in_token)
buffer = sspi.AuthenticationBuffer()
outStr = base64.b64encode(out_token)
