c# - How to get Service Token from Kerberos using SSPI

Question

Objective: I am trying to build Proof Of Concept client app to implement Single Sign On by using SSPI. I am new to C# and I am getting confused.

What I know and have done so far: All users are part of Active Directory domain, so I know Kerberos is being used for authentication during login. All I need to do at this point is to get service token from Kerberos so I can pass it to the service resource instead of username and password (correct me if I am wrong). I have been provided Service Principle Name (SPN) and password that has been registered with Kerberos for the service.

I was hoping not to use Platform Invocation Services to call SSPI functions, but I will if I have to. I read through ".NET Remoting Authentication and Authorization Sample - Part I" and used Microsoft.Samples.Security.SSPI for testing. I also tried using C#/.Net Interface To The Win32 SSPI Authentication API.

So far, I can get user/client credentials, build client security context. But how do I request a Service Ticket for a given SPN?

I would appreciate your help and guidance. Please be specific if you can and let me know if you have any questions.

You can use below to get the token by giving the SPN

  public String getToken(string userName)
    {
     using (var domainContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "domain"))
        {
          using (var foundUser = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(domainContext, IdentityType.SamAccountName, userName))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("User Principale name" + UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(domainContext, IdentityType.SamAccountName, userName).UserPrincipalName);
                string spn = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(domainContext, IdentityType.SamAccountName, userName).UserPrincipalName;
                KerberosSecurityTokenProvider k1 = new KerberosSecurityTokenProvider(spn, System.Security.Principal.TokenImpersonationLevel.Impersonation, new System.Net.NetworkCredential(userName, "password", "domain"));
                KerberosRequestorSecurityToken T1 = k1.GetToken(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1)) as KerberosRequestorSecurityToken;
                string sret = Convert.ToBase64String(T1.GetRequest());
                Console.WriteLine("=====sret========" + sret);
                return sret;
            }
        }

    }
