Freeradius includes a 'rlm_krb5' module which will verify passwords
against  your krb5 KDC.  Note that this is not the same as using
Kerberos to  authenticate the RADIUS protocol spoken between the NAS and
RADIUS server.

I have attached a patch against freeradius-0.3 which makes some
improvements to the rlm_krb5 module, including actually validating the
tickets it obtains in the process of verifying a password.  We've been
running this for a couple of years with good results.  It won't be
exactly  what you need, but it should serve as a good starting point.
Notably...

freeradius 0.3 is substantially out of date, and probably has remotely exploitable vulnerabilities (or then again, maybe it's too old for them...). The current version of the rlm_krb5 module (0.9+) includes the enhancements you describe, including improved portability between MIT KRB5 and Heimdal (though I recently made some changes to CVS HEAD that I haven't tested on Heimdal, so I may have ruined that again ;).

Yeah; that doesn't surprise me. We don't actually use it much, and keeping it up to date hasn't been a high priority for me...


I'm glad to hear that work has been done on improving the rlm_krb5 module; I seem to recall last I looked that it was still broken, but that was quite some time ago.
