Thank you Russ and John. As related requirements items, I am also looking for MIT KDC installations with (1) greater than 50,000 accounts, and (2) greater than 100,000 accounts (user + service principals). If anyone is running an MIT KDC this size and can share that information it would be greatly appreciated. ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
