  1. CCOW Support for Kerberos • Problem Statement: • Application is CCOW User Link-compliant and uses Kerberos to connect to back end services • Application needs Kerberos service ticket • CCOW user at workstation may be different than user logged on to workstation's operating system • Application needs to obtain ticket for CCOW user, as opposed operating system user HL7 CCOW Meeting, Sept. 2003

  2. Simplified Kerberos Architecture Kerberized Service 3. Use Application Kerberized Application 5. Use Service Ticket to Access Service 4. Get Service Ticket Kerberos Distribution Center (KDC) Client Operating System 1. Authenticate 2. Get Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT) HL7 CCOW Meeting, Sept. 2003

  3. Ticket Facts • Tickets are bound to a service • Forwadable tickets can be used to get to a nested service • Tickets expire or can be used once (I.e., fast expiration) • Tickets are doubly encrypted: • first so only authenticating application can decrypt • second so only service can decrypt HL7 CCOW Meeting, Sept. 2003
