Hi I have the pleasure to work in an office close to that of Thierry and we talked about the interest of using Kerberos as an authentication mechanism at our University.
Wouldn't it be nice for Sage to be "Kerberised" so people could very easily use a Kerberos server or an Active Directory Server for the authentication part ? (Of course, it does not give as much information as an LDAP server (UID, GID, etc....) but is much more secure over the Internet, just because it was designed so in the very first place...) What's your opinion on that point ?
