Since March of 2003, Jeffrey Altman and Secure Endpoints Inc. have been leading the evolution of MIT's Kerberos for Windows product. Enhancements such as the customizable installation packaging, MSLSA credentials cache, automatic ticket acquisition, improved reliability, and broader third-party application adoption have driven increased demand for Kerberos for Windows.
I'd like to announce two changes that will improve the Kerberos for Windows product and your ability to deploy it throughout your organization. First, we're working with Secure Endpoints to develop an arrangement where they can focus on what they do best: providing support and custom development for security software including Kerberos for Windows. They will continue to work with us, providing enhancements and bug fixes back and helping us better understand customer needs. Secure Endpoints will maintain a release management role as part of the Kerberos team and will work with MIT to issue official Kerberos for Windows releases. As a result of our on-going cooperation Kerberos for Windows 3.1 will be released in early November incorporating the extensible Network Identity Manager. This will be followed by Kerberos for Windows 3.2 with support for Microsoft Vista and 64-bit Microsoft Windows applications. Organizations wishing to customize Network Identity Manager or KFW installation packages for their users or whom would like to fund specific KFW development are encouraged to contact Secure Endpoints. Secondly, MIT is seeking a senior full-time developer to be the engineering lead for the Kerberos for Windows product. KFW has grown to a level where we believe that it needs a full-time resource to guide its development and design. This senior engineer will work with the rest of the Kerberos team as well as KFW users. We believe this will allow us to provide more timely and responsive KFW releases while allowing us to better take advantage of development made for KFW in the rest of our products. We're actively seeking resumes for this position at this time. We look forward to an exciting year of KFW development. Sam Hartman Manager, MIT Kerberos Team
