Karsten Spang created HTTPCLIENT-1736:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: TGT is forwarded to server when using Kerberos
authentication
Key: HTTPCLIENT-1736
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1736
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.5.2
Reporter: Karsten Spang
In {{GGSSchemeBase.generateGSSToken}}, line 133 in version 4.5.2:
{code:java}
gssContext.requestCredDeleg(true);
{code}
For Kerberos, this means that the client will forward the to TGT to the server.
First, I don't see why you would want that, as that is an unnecessary security
risk. Second, I have a problem with my {{SecurityManager}} (Oracle's
in-database Aurora security manager), so I am unable to create a permission for
this that works.
I suggest to change this to
{code:java}
gssContext.requestCredDeleg(false);
{code}
There might be situations where a client application would actually want to
pass the TGT, but it should be possible to control this.
