I'm a newbie to Kerberos and am looking for some help. We are going to use Kerberos and strong authentication to supply security to an Oracle 9i database.
>From reading the documentation, I see that once you install and configure Kerberos on the client and server, you simply perform an okinit or a kinit and you get you credentials then you can access the DB from sqlplus. But what about from an application that uses ODBC. How do we get a ticket? Do we use the GSSAPI, do we have to okinit before ODNC can connect? I'm not sure how to proceed. Can I use ODBC or and other tools without doing a okinit? Will performing a get_cred with the GSSAPI create a ticket on the client? Thanks, John
