Subject: heimdal-kdc: The glob-patten in kadmind.acl doesn't work.
Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:36:53 +0200
Package: heimdal-kdc
Version: 1.1-3
Severity: important

If you set any glob-pattern in kadmind.acl and want to check it in kadmin with 'privs'
it always replies 'none' as result. I guess that it's a problem with the 022_ftp-roken-glob patch,
because an upstream guy told me that it must be a problem with the glob() function and this 
seems to me the only patch which changes something with glob().

No, 022_ftp-roken-glob, like the name implies, only affects ftp, not kadmin.

Your problem must lie elsewhere...

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Can you still reproduce this with current Heimdal? I am using globs
fine in kadmind.acl. If you can still reproduce it, can you add some
details on the kind of glob that is not working for you?

Thanks,

Jelmer

Package: heimdal-kdc
Version: 1.6~rc2+dfsg-8
Tags: jessie

I can confirm that there is at least some difficulty with glob patterns. I
can only get the proper privs when I type out the entire name of each
principal in the kadmind.acl file, like so:

host/[email protected] list,get,change-password

On the remote machine I can get:

$ kadmin -p host/hostname privs
host/[email protected]'s Password:
change-password, list, get

Any attempt at glob patterns fails me:

host/*@EXAMPLE.COM list,get,change-password
host/.*@EXAMPLE.COM list,get,change-password
host/hostname*@EXAMPLE.COM list,get,change-password
*/*@EXAMPLE.COM list,get,change-password
*@EXAMPLE.COM list,get,change-password
host/host*@EXAMPLE.COM list,get,change-password

All of the above example return 'none' when I issue the 'privs' command
from a remote machine.
