RFC 2548 - Microsoft Vendor-specific RADIUS Attributes
Network Working Group G. Zorn Request for Comments: 2548 Microsoft Corporation Category: Informational March 1999 Microsoft Vendor-specific RADIUS Attributes Status of this Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Copyright Notice Copyright (C) The Internet Society (1999). All Rights Reserved. Abstract This document describes the set of Microsoft vendor-specific RADIUS attributes. These attributes are designed to support Microsoft proprietary dial-up protocols and/or provide support for features which is not provided by the standard RADIUS attribute set [3]. It is expected that this memo will be updated whenever Microsoft defines a new vendor-specific attribute, since its primary purpose is to provide an open, easily accessible reference for third-parties wishing to interoperate with Microsoft products. 1. Specification of Requirements In this document, the key words "MAY", "MUST, "MUST NOT", "optional", "recommended", "SHOULD", and "SHOULD NOT" are to be interpreted as described in [2]. 2. Attributes The following sections describe sub-attributes which may be transmitted in one or more RADIUS attributes of type Vendor-Specific [3]. More than one sub-attribute MAY be transmitted in a single Vendor-Specific Attribute; if this is done, the sub-attributes SHOULD be packed as a sequence of Vendor-Type/Vendor-Length/Value triples following the inital Type, Length and Vendor-ID fields. The Length field of the Vendor-Specific Attribute MUST be set equal to the sum of the Vendor-Length fields of the sub-attributes contained in the Vendor-Specific Attribute, plus six. The Vendor-ID field of the Vendor-Specific Attribute(s) MUST be set to decimal 311 (Microsoft). 2.1. Attributes for Support of MS-CHAP Version 1 2.1.1. Introduction Microsoft created Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) [4] to authenticate remote Windows workstations, providing the functionality to which LAN-based users are accustomed. Where possible, MS-CHAP is consistent with standard CHAP [5], and the differences are easily modularized. Briefly, the differences between MS-CHAP and standard CHAP are: * MS-CHAP is enabled by negotiating CHAP Algorithm 0x80 in LCP option 3, Authentication Protocol. * The MS-CHAP Response packet is in a format designed for compatibility with Microsoft Windows NT 3.5, 3.51 and 4.0, Microsoft Windows95, and Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x networking products. The MS-CHAP format does not require the authenticator to store a clear-text or reversibly encrypted password. * MS-CHAP provides an authenticator-controlled authentication retry mechanism. * MS-CHAP provides an authenticator-controlled password changing mechanism. * MS-CHAP defines an extended set of reason-for-failure codes, returned in the Failure packet Message field. The attributes defined in this section reflect these differences. 2.1.2. MS-CHAP-Challenge Description This Attribute contains the challenge sent by a NAS to a Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) user. It MAY be used in both Access-Request and Access-Challenge packets. A summary of the MS-CHAP-Challenge Attribute format is shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Vendor-Type | Vendor-Length | String... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Vendor-Type 11 for MS-CHAP-Challenge. Vendor-Length > 2 String The String field contains the MS-CHAP challenge. 2.1.3. MS-CHAP-Response Description This Attribute contains the response value provided by a PPP Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) user in response to the challenge. It is only used in Access- Request packets. A summary of the MS-CHAP-Response Attribute format is shown below.

NT-Response The NT-Response field is 24 octets in length and holds an encoded function of the password and the received challenge. If this field is empty, it SHOULD be zero-filled. Flags The Flags field is two octets in length. If the least significant bit (bit 0) of this field is one, the NT-Response field is to be used in preference to the LM-Response field for authentication. The LM-Response field MAY still be used (if present), but the NT- Response SHOULD be tried first. If least significant bit of the field is zero, the NT-Response field MUST be ignored and the LM- Response field used instead. If bit 1 of the Flags field is one, the Old-LM-Hash field is valid and SHOULD be used. If this bit is set, at least one instance of the MS-CHAP-LM-Enc-PW attribute MUST be included in the packet. 2.1.8. MS-CHAP-LM-Enc-PW Description This Attribute contains the new Windows NT password encrypted with the old LAN Manager password hash. The encrypted Windows NT password is 516 octets in length; since this is longer than the maximum lengtth of a RADIUS attribute, the password must be split into several attibutes for transmission. A 2 octet sequence number is included in the attribute to help preserve ordering of the password fragments. This Attribute is only used in Access-Request packets, in conjunction with the MS-CHAP-CPW-2 attribute. It should only be included if an MS-CHAP-Error attribute was included in the immediately preceding Access-Reject packet, the String field of the MS-CHAP-Error attribute indicated that the user password had expired, and the MS-CHAP version is 2 or greater.

String The String field contains a portion of the encrypted password. 2.3. Attributes for Support of MS-CHAP Version 2 2.3.1. Introduction This section describes RADIUS attributes supporting version two of Microsoft's PPP CHAP dialect (MS-CHAP-V2) [14]. MS-CHAP-V2 is similar to, but incompatible with, MS-CHAP version one (MS-CHAP-V1) [4]. Certain protocol fields have been deleted or reused but with different semantics. Where possible, MS-CHAP-V2 is consistent with both MS-CHAP-V1 and standard CHAP [1]. Briefly, the differences between MS-CHAP-V2 and MS-CHAP-V1 are: * MS-CHAP-V2 is enabled by negotiating CHAP Algorithm 0x81 in LCP option 3, Authentication Protocol. * MS-CHAP-V2 provides mutual authentication between peers by piggybacking a peer challenge on the Response packet and an authenticator response on the Success packet. * The calculation of the "Windows NT compatible challenge response" sub-field in the Response packet has been changed to include the peer challenge and the user name. * In MS-CHAP-V1, the "LAN Manager compatible challenge response" sub-field was always sent in the Response packet. This field has been replaced in MS-CHAP-V2 by the Peer-Challenge field. * The format of the Message field in the Failure packet has been changed. * The Change Password (version 1) and Change Password (version 2) packets are no longer supported. They have been replaced with a single Change-Password packet. The attributes defined in this section reflect these differences. 2.3.2. MS-CHAP2-Response Description This Attribute contains the response value provided by an MS- CHAP-V2 peer in response to the challenge. It is only used in Access-Request packets.

Attributes for MPPE Support This section describes a set of Attributes designed to support the use of Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption (MPPE) [6] in dial-up networks. MPPE is a means of representing Point to Point Protocol (PPP) [7] packets in a encrypted form. MPPE uses the RSA RC4 [8] algorithm for encryption. The length of the session key to be used for initializing encryption tables can be negotiated; MPPE currently supports 40 bit and 128 bit session keys. MPPE is negotiated within option 18 in the PPP Compression Control Protocol (CCP)[9], [10]. 2.4.1. MS-CHAP-MPPE-Keys Description The MS-CHAP-MPPE-Keys Attribute contains two session keys for use by the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption Protocol (MPPE).

The format of the plaintext Keys field is illustrated in the following diagram: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | LM-Key +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ LM-Key (cont) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | NT-Key +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ NT-Key (cont) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ NT-Key (cont) +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ NT-Key (cont) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Padding +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Padding (cont) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ The Keys field MUST be encrypted by the RADIUS server using the same method defined for the User-Password Attribute [3]. Padding is required because the method referenced above requires the field to be encrypted to be a multiple of sixteen octets in length. Implementation Note This attribute should only be returned in response to an Access-Request packet containing MS-CHAP attributes. 2.4.2. MS-MPPE-Send-Key Description The MS-MPPE-Send-Key Attribute contains a session key for use by the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption Protocol (MPPE). As the name implies, this key is intended for encrypting packets sent from the NAS to the remote host. This Attribute is only included in Access-Accept packets. A summary of the MS-MPPE-Send-Key Attribute format is given below. The fields are transmitted left to right. 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Vendor-Type | Vendor-Length | Salt +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ String... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Vendor-Type 16 for MS-MPPE-Send-Key. Vendor-Length > 4 Salt The Salt field is two octets in length and is used to ensure the uniqueness of the keys used to encrypt each of the encrypted attributes occurring in a given Access-Accept packet. The most significant bit (leftmost) of the Salt field MUST be set (1). The contents of each Salt field in a given Access-Accept packet MUST be unique. String The plaintext String field consists of three logical sub-fields: the Key-Length and Key sub-fields (both of which are required), and the optional Padding sub-field. The Key-Length sub-field is one octet in length and contains the length of the unencrypted Key sub-field. The Key sub-field contains the actual encryption key. If the combined length (in octets) of the unencrypted Key-Length and Key sub-fields is not an even multiple of 16, then the Padding sub-field MUST be present. If it is present, the length of the Padding sub-field is variable, between 1 and 15 octets. The String field MUST be encrypted as follows, prior to transmission: Construct a plaintext version of the String field by concate- nating the Key-Length and Key sub-fields. If necessary, pad the resulting string until its length (in octets) is an even multiple of 16. It is recommended that zero octets (0x00) be used for padding. Call this plaintext P. Call the shared secret S, the pseudo-random 128-bit Request Authenticator (from the corresponding Access-Request packet) R, and the contents of the Salt field A. Break P into 16 octet chunks p(1), p(2)...p(i), where i = len(P)/16. Call the ciphertext blocks c(1), c(2)...c(i) and the final ciphertext C. Intermediate values b(1), b(2)...c(i) are required. Encryption is performed in the following manner ('+' indicates concatenation): b(1) = MD5(S + R + A) c(1) = p(1) xor b(1) C = c(1) b(2) = MD5(S + c(1)) c(2) = p(2) xor b(2) C = C + c(2) . . . . . . b(i) = MD5(S + c(i-1)) c(i) = p(i) xor b(i) C = C + c(i) The resulting encrypted String field will contain c(1)+c(2)+...+c(i). On receipt, the process is reversed to yield the plaintext String. Implementation Notes It is possible that the length of the key returned may be larger than needed for the encryption scheme in use. In this case, the RADIUS client is responsible for performing any necessary truncation. This attribute MAY be used to pass a key from an external (e.g., EAP [15]) server to the RADIUS server. In this case, it may be impossible for the external server to correctly encrypt the key, since the RADIUS shared secret might be unavailable. The external server SHOULD, however, return the attribute as defined above; the Salt field SHOULD be zero-filled and padding of the String field SHOULD be done. When the RADIUS server receives the attribute from the external server, it MUST correctly set the Salt field and encrypt the String field before transmitting it to the RADIUS client. If the channel used to communicate the MS-MPPE-Send-Key attribute is not secure from eavesdropping, the attribute MUST be cryptographically protected. 2.4.3. MS-MPPE-Recv-Key Description The MS-MPPE-Recv-Key Attribute contains a session key for use by the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption Protocol (MPPE).

Vendor-Length > 4 Salt The Salt field is two octets in length and is used to ensure the uniqueness of the keys used to encrypt each of the encrypted attributes occurring in a given Access-Accept packet. The most significant bit (leftmost) of the Salt field MUST be set (1). The contents of each Salt field in a given Access-Accept packet MUST be unique. String The plaintext String field consists of three logical sub-fields: the Key-Length and Key sub-fields (both of which are required), and the optional Padding sub-field.

Security Considerations MS-CHAP, like PPP CHAP, is susceptible to dictionary attacks. User passwords should be chosen with care, and be of sufficient length to deter easy guessing. Although the scheme used to protect the Keys field of the MS-CHAP- MPPE-Keys, MS-MPPE-Send-Key and MS-MPPE-Recv-Key Attributes is believed to be relatively secure on the wire, RADIUS proxies will decrypt and re-encrypt the field for forwarding. Therefore, these attributes SHOULD NOT be used on networks where untrusted RADIUS proxies reside. 5.
