Maximum AP and AS message sizes

[Tim Alsop]

Eric,

You also need to consider :

i) Whether IP addresses are stored in the tickets. In particular on a multi homed system the number of addresses can be quite large.
ii) Whether the KDC is a Microsoft KDC because PAC data will be stored in tickets.

These, along with PKINIT requirements are the major contributors to large tickets, and hence large request/response packets to/from the KDC.

Cheers, Tim.

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me what the AP and AS message size maximums would be and what factor are to be considered? 

I'm using PKINIT so I know my AS request will be rather large due to the certificate.

Thank!
