`websspi` will be an HTTP middleware for Golang that uses Kerberos for single sign-on (SSO) authentication of browser based clients in a Windows environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main goal is to create a middleware that performs authentication of HTTP requests without the need to create or use keytab files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The middleware will implement the scheme defined by RFC4559 (SPNEGO-based HTTP Authentication in Microsoft Windows) to exchange security tokens via HTTP headers and will use SSPI (Security Support Provider Interface) to authenticate HTTP requests.

## How to use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The examples directory contains a simple web server that demonstrates how to use the package.
|
||
|
|
Before trying it, you need to prepare your environment:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Create a separate user account in active directory, under which the web server process will be running (eg. `user` under the `domain.local` domain)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Create a service principal name for the host with class HTTP:
|
||
|
|
- Start Command prompt or PowerShell as domain administrator
|
||
|
|
- Run the command below, replacing `host.domain.local` with the fully qualified domain name of the server where the web application will be running, and `domain\user` with the name of the account created in step 1.:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
setspn -A HTTP/host.domain.local domain\user
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Start the web server app under the account created in step 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. If you are using Chrome, Edge or Internet Explorer, add the URL of the web app to the Local intranet sites (`Internet Options -> Security -> Local intranet -> Sites`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Start Chrome, Edge or Internet Explorer and navigate to the URL of the web app (eg. `http://host.domain.local:9000`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. The web app should greet you with the name of your AD account without asking you to login. In case it doesn't, make sure that:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- You are not running the web browser on the same server where the web app is running. You should be running the web browser on a domain joined computer (client) that is different from the server
|
||
|
|
- There is only one HTTP/... SPN for the host
|
||
|
|
- The SPN contains only the hostname, without the port
|
||
|
|
- You have added the URL of the web app to the `Local intranet` zone
|
||
|
|
- The clocks of the server and client should not differ with more than 5 minutes
|
||
|
|
- `Integrated Windows Authentication` should be enabled in Internet Explorer (under `Advanced settings`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Security requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- SPNEGO HTTP provides no facilities for protecting the HTTP headers or data including the Authorization and WWW-Authenticate headers, which means that the HTTP server **MUST** enforce use of SSL to provide confidentiality to data in these headers!
