openssh unix dev - Nov 2002 - [Bug 445] New: User DCE Credentials do not get forwarded to child session

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445

           Summary: User DCE Credentials do not get forwarded to child
                    session
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.4p1
          Platform: Alpha
        OS/Version: OSF/1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: kmy at ornl.gov


Under OSF/1, DCE credentials are created in the SIA layer for the
parent when the user log's in with a password.  These credentials
do not get forwarded to the child session.  This can be done via
passing an environmental variable from parent to child in session.c.

The following fix accomplishes this functionality and is basically
a NO-OP in the event that the required environmental variable is
not present:

session.c.orig session.c

	<       char **env;
	---
	>       char **env, *dcecreds;
	954a955,958
	> 
	> /*    Propagate DCE credentials to child .. kmy at ornl.gov            */
	>       if( (dcecreds=getenv("KRB5CCNAME")) )
	>               child_set_env( &env, &envsize,
"KRB5CCNAME", dcecreds );
	[kmy at gazelle:/dfs/sys/packages/ssh/openssh-3.4p1/alpha_tru64_v510] 

With this fix installed, users may use native DFS without
the complexity of having to perform a dce_login in addition
to their normal login, because the child now has access to
the file containing the credentials of the parent and accepts
them as their credentials.
