NAME
gss_auth_rules - overview of GSS authorization
DESCRIPTION
The establishment of the veracity of a user's credentials
requires both authentication (Is this an authentic user?)
and authorization (Is this authentic user, in fact, author-
ized?).
When a user makes use of Generic Security Services (GSS)
versions of the ftp or ssh clients to connect to a server,
the user is not necessarily authorized, even if his claimed
GSS identity is authenticated, Authentication merely estab-
lishes that the user is who he says he is to the GSS
mechanism's authentication system. Authorization is then
required: it determines whether the GSS identity is permit-
ted to access the specified Solaris user account.
The GSS authorization rules are as follows:
o If the mechanism of the connection has a set of author-
ization rules, then use those rules. For example, if
the mechanism is Kerberos, then use the
krb5_auth_rules(5), so that authorization is consistent
between raw Kerberos applications and GSS/Kerberos
applications.
o If the mechanism of the connection does not have a set
of authorization rules, then authorization is success-
ful if the remote user's gssname matches the local
user's gssname exactly, as compared by
gss_compare_name(3GSS).
FILES
