* De-Revert "Add support for Kerberos credential delegation"Stephen Frost2023-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 3d03b24c3 (Revert Add support for Kerberos credential delegation) which was committed on the grounds of concern about portability, but on further review and discussion, it's clear that we are better off explicitly requiring MIT Kerberos as that appears to be the only GSSAPI library currently that's under proper maintenance and ongoing development. The API used for storing credentials was added to MIT Kerberos over a decade ago while for the other libraries which appear to be mainly based on Heimdal, which exists explicitly to be a re-implementation of MIT Kerberos, the API never made it to a released version (even though it was added to the Heimdal git repo over 5 years ago..). This post-feature-freeze change was approved by the RMT. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ZDDO6jaESKaBgej0%40tamriel.snowman.net
* Revert "Add support for Kerberos credential delegation"Stephen Frost2023-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 3d4fa227bce4294ce1cc214b4a9d3b7caa3f0454. Per discussion and buildfarm, this depends on APIs that seem to not be available on at least one platform (NetBSD). Should be certainly possible to rework to be optional on that platform if necessary but bit late for that at this point. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3286097.1680922218@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Add support for Kerberos credential delegationStephen Frost2023-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support GSSAPI/Kerberos credentials being delegated to the server by a client. With this, a user authenticating to PostgreSQL using Kerberos (GSSAPI) credentials can choose to delegate their credentials to the PostgreSQL server (which can choose to accept them, or not), allowing the server to then use those delegated credentials to connect to another service, such as with postgres_fdw or dblink or theoretically any other service which is able to be authenticated using Kerberos. Both postgres_fdw and dblink are changed to allow non-superuser password-less connections but only when GSSAPI credentials have been delegated to the server by the client and GSSAPI is used to authenticate to the remote system.

* Don't assume GSSAPI result strings are null-terminated.Tom Lane2021-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our uses of gss_display_status() and gss_display_name() assumed that the gss_buffer_desc strings returned by those functions are null-terminated. It appears that they generally are, given the lack of field complaints up to now. However, the available documentation does not promise this, and some man pages for gss_display_status() show examples that rely on the gss_buffer_desc.length field instead of expecting null termination. Also, we now have a report that on some implementations, clang's address sanitizer is of the opinion that the byte after the specified length is undefined. Hence, change the code to rely on the length field instead. This might well be cosmetic rather than fixing any real bug, but it's hard to be sure, so back-patch to all supported branches. While here, also back-patch the v12 changes that made pg_GSS_error deal honestly with multiple messages available from gss_display_status. Per report from Sudheer H R.

* Fix assorted issues in backend's GSSAPI encryption support.Tom Lane2020-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unrecoverable errors detected by GSSAPI encryption can't just be reported with elog(ERROR) or elog(FATAL), because attempting to send the error report to the client is likely to lead to infinite recursion or loss of protocol sync. Instead make this code do what the SSL encryption code has long done, which is to just report any such failure to the server log (with elevel COMMERROR), then pretend we've lost the connection by returning errno = ECONNRESET. Along the way, fix confusion about whether message translation is done by pg_GSS_error() or its callers (the latter should do it), and make the backend version of that function work more like the frontend version. Avoid allocating the port->gss struct until it's needed; we surely don't need to allocate it in the postmaster. Improve logging of "connection authorized" messages with GSS enabled. (As part of this, I back-patched the code changes from dc11f31a1.) Make BackendStatusShmemSize() account for the GSS-related space that will be allocated by CreateSharedBackendStatus(). This omission could possibly cause out-of-shared-memory problems with very high max_connections settings. Remove arbitrary, pointless restriction that only GSS authentication can be used on a GSS-encrypted connection. Improve documentation; notably, document the fact that libpq now prefers GSS encryption over SSL encryption if both are possible. Per report from Mikael Gustavsson. Back-patch to v12 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/e5b0b6ed05764324a2f3fe7acfc766d5@smhi.se

| | | | | | | | | | | The file has been introduced in src/backend/libpq/ as of b0b39f72, but all backend-side headers of libpq are located in src/include/libpq/. Note that the identification path on top of the file referred to src/include/libpq/ from the start.

* GSSAPI encryption supportStephen Frost2019-04-03
On both the frontend and backend, prepare for GSSAPI encryption support by moving common code for error handling into a separate file. Fix a TODO for handling multiple status messages in the process. Eliminate the OIDs, which have not been needed for some time. Add frontend and backend encryption support functions. Keep the context initiation for authentication-only separate on both the frontend and backend in order to avoid concerns about changing the requested flags to include encryption support. In postmaster, pull GSSAPI authorization checking into a shared function. Also share the initiator name between the encryption and non-encryption codepaths. For HBA, add "hostgssenc" and "hostnogssenc" entries that behave similarly to their SSL counterparts. "hostgssenc" requires either "gss", "trust", or "reject" for its authentication. Similarly, add a "gssencmode" parameter to libpq. Supported values are "disable", "require", and "prefer". Notably, negotiation will only be attempted if credentials can be acquired. Move credential acquisition into its own function to support this behavior. Add a simple pg_stat_gssapi view similar to pg_stat_ssl, for monitoring if GSSAPI authentication was used, what principal was used, and if encryption is being used on the connection. Finally, add documentation for everything new, and update existing documentation on connection security. Thanks to Michael Paquier for the Windows fixes.
