[cifs-protocol] Session keys are not always 16 bytes long

[Hongwei Sun]

Stefan,

   For your SMB signing problem shown in the network traces attached,  what is your configuration ?  Are you using Vista client connecting to Samba server and KDC ?    You also mentioned windows servers.  How are they used in your configuration ?   I just want to make sure we  check the correct section of the code and create a testing environment that will be more helpful for finding the problem.

Thanks!

Hongwei

See the attached capture and keytab.

Yes, as for AES the acceptor subkey is different from the initiator one.
Windows servers seem to just use the same subkey as acceptor subkey and the inititor subkey for rc4 and des keys.

For me the remaining unsolved problem is smb signing with AES keys.
If I disable mutual auth is works using the initiator subkey, but if mutual auth is used I'm getting a NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED on the tree connect after the session setup. Both initiator and acceptor subkey doesn't work. And truncating the session key to 16 bytes also doesn't help. I attached 2 capture of it.

SMB2 signing works fine with the 32byte acceptor subkey.

Could it be a bug in windows? Or does smb signing works for you with AES keys and mutual auth?
