Major changes in 1.11
=====================
Additional background information on these changes may be found at
http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Release_1.11
and
http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Category:Release_1.11_projects
Code quality:
* Improve ASN.1 support code, making it table-driven for decoding as
well as encoding
* Refactor parts of KDC
Developer experience:
* Documentation consolidation
* Add a new API krb5_kt_have_content() to determine whether a keytab
exists and contains any entries.
* Add a new API krb5_cccol_have_content() to determine whether the
ccache collection contains any credentials.
* Add a new API krb5_kt_client_default() to resolve the default client
keytab.
* Add new APIs gss_export_cred and gss_import_cred to serialize and
unserialize GSSAPI credentials.
* Add a krb5_get_init_creds_opt_set_in_ccache() option.
* Add get_cc_config() and set_cc_config() clpreauth callbacks for
getting string attribute values from an in_ccache and storing them
in an out_ccache, respectively.
* Add a plugin interface for GSSAPI interposer mechanisms.
* Add an optional responder callback to the krb5_get_init_creds
functions. The responder callback can consider and answer all
preauth-related questions at once, and can process more complicated
questions than the prompter.
* Add a method to the clpreauth interface to allow modules to supply
response items for consideration by the responder callback.
* Projects/Password_response_item
* Add GSSAPI extensions to allow callers to specify credential store
locations when acquiring or storing credentials
* Add a new API krb5_kt_client_default() to resolve the default client
keytab.
Administrator experience:
* Documentation consolidation
* Add parameter expansion for default_keytab_name and
default_client_keytab_name profile variables.
* Add new default_ccache_name profile variable to override the
built-in default credential cache name.
* Add configure-time support for changing the built-in ccache and
keytab names.
* Add krb5-config options for displaying the built-in ccache and
keytab names.
* In the default build, use the system's built-in ccache and keytab
names if they can be discovered using krb5-config.
* Add support for a "default client keytab". Its location is
determined by the KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME environment variable, the
default_client_keytab profile relation, or a hardcoded path (TBD).
* GSSAPI initiator applications can now acquire credentials
automatically from the default client keytab, if one is available.
* Add client support for FAST OTP (RFC 6560)
End-user experience:
* Documentation consolidation
* Store metadata in the ccache about how a credential was acquired, to
improve the user's experience when reacquiring
* Projects/Extensible_Policy
Performance:
* Improve KDC lookaside cache performance
Protocol evolution:
* Add client support for FAST OTP (RFC 6560)
* Build Camellia encryption support by default
