I'm not that familiar with what they offer, but GNU GSS currently only support the Kerberos GSS-API mechanism. I think Sun (and maybe others) supports other mechanisms too, but they are likely to be non-standard and proprietary. GNU GSS is also cross-platform, so you should be able to use it on any of those platforms if you want. /Simon > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Josefsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 9:09 PM > To: Tadoori (EXT), Vilas > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: GSS-API Documentation and help > > GNU GSS support the C bindings both as client and server. > > /Simon > > "Tadoori (EXT), Vilas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >> Hi... >> >> I have read in wikipedia about gssapi and they have said that the >> gssapi bindings are in c and java. >> Most of the server programming is done on c++. >> >> Will these bindings are supported >> >> Rgds >> Vilas. >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Simon Josefsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 7:13 PM >> To: Tadoori (EXT), Vilas >> Cc: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: GSS-API Documentation and help >> >> "Tadoori (EXT), Vilas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> >>> Few questions >>> >>> 1)What are the logical services of GSS-API? >> >> GSS-API is described in RFC 2743 which is also the most complete >> answer for that question, please see: >> >> http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2743.txt >> >>> 2) Is it possible via GSS-API for an applciation server to "cache" a >>> public key for a Ticket granting authority and conduct "is authentic" >>> checks on native authorization tickets it receives? >> >> I don't think there are APIs to do that in GSS-API today, but I may be > >> wrong -- I haven't used certificate-based mechanisms with GSS-API. >> >> /Simon >> >>> Vilas >>> >>> >>> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: Simon Josefsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 7:31 PM >>> To: Tadoori (EXT), Vilas >>> Cc: [email protected] >>> Subject: Re: GSS-API Documentation and help >>> >>> GNU GSS is currently only distributed as a source code package, so >>> there are no binary Windows packages available.
