Thanks for the correction! The hint is helpful, to :-) - Ying -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey Altman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 10, 2004 3:02 PM To: Ying Zhao Cc: Derrick Schommer; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: interoperability of Kerberos client and server
The appropriate place for this discussion is [EMAIL PROTECTED] or the comp.protocols.kerberos newsgroup. The [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list is meant to be used for discussion on the development of the MIT Kerberos implementation. I am redirecting replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] As a hint: Java JAAS modules do not perform network authentication. They are used to obtain local credentials which may or may not be used in the future input to the network authentication protocol such as GSS-API. Java provides its own implementation of GSS-API Kerberos 5 for use in communicating with other GSS-API Kerberos 5 compatible clients and servers.
