Hi, I am working with a client to test using MIT's Kerberos for a software application they are developing. The application generally doesn't use kerberos but for this specific customer they are requiring that the software application will authenticate using kerberos. I don't know a ton about the environment they will wind up testing the app in but for now we want to just see if we can do some basic things.
I have a windows 2000 domain with AD running that we can test in. The developer wants to just try using a jdc script ( or something like that) just to see if we can authenticate. I want to install your kerberos on a test machine and from what I have read so far it seems as though this has to be a domain controller? What we want to do is install your kerberos and then see if we can authenticate on the domain using the developers script with the credentials of a test user I setup on the domain. So I downloaded the kerberos and installed it on a test box but then got lost. I don't know exactly where to get the keys from as I don't know how to setup the realms, etc. I found some info on MS site but in general I am wondering if there is a quick way to do this and just test it out. It would even be better to maybe not test it out as I don't have a test domain we would be using this on the live network and I would prefer to avoid that. Can I setup a realm and whatnot or possibly use the MIT realm and test the script out against that and see if it authenticates? I believe the env. the product will wind up in is a place where linux, sun, and windows all run and the users login to a domain using AD. Can you help or point me in the right spot? Does the client get installed on every machine that will try to use this and then are the users all created in the active D or can you use the kerberos server? If I want to keep this off of the domain can I do that and setup sort of a standalone box for them to test authentication against? Looking for an easy way just to test it out for now. ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
