Hi folks,
Has anyone done a setup where Remedy users are authenticated directly by 
Kerberos, without having LDAP in the middle?

I know Remedy talking to LDAP talking to Kerberos has been done, but I've been 
asked to take LDAP out of the picture.

Integration guide (looked at v 7.5) does mention Kerberos, in the same sentence 
as LDAP, but I haven't found much info on how to do this with Kerberos. I have 
ARS 6.3, by the way, but I can go to a higher version.

With Kerberos APIs and Remedy's AREA APIs it should be doable. Both client and 
server side code will be needed, because the way Remedy's authentication is 
architected, the client can't vouch for the ID of the user; that's done by the 
AREA plugin at the server side, so it seems that on the client side the 
authentication should happen and the resulting "ticket" is what's passed to 
AREA plugin, which is then what gets verified there.

Thanks in advance.
