[jira] [Created] (DIRKRB-125) Implementing PKINIT mechanism

Kai Zheng created DIRKRB-125:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Implementing PKINIT mechanism
                 Key: DIRKRB-125
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRKRB-125
             Project: Directory Kerberos
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Kai Zheng
            Assignee: Emmanuel Lecharny


This is to implement PKINIT pre-authentication mechanism, which can be used to integrate PKI based authentication:
1. When client certificate is available, it's can be used to authenticate the client to KDC and exchange a TGT.
2. When client certificate isn't available, but anonymous is allowed, then only KDC server is authenticated to the client and still a TGT can be requested but the principal is the well known name. Such TGT can serve as an armor TGT/key to protect other pre-authentication mechanism.
