Hi folks, A little background, explaining the Subject: We are mostly a Windows Shop; our front-end servers are IIS6/7 running C# and ASP.Net applications. Most of the back-ends are JBoss, though. Our internal client infrastructure centers around Windows XP (Currently migrating to Windows 7) and most of our internal Servers are Windows 2003 and Windows 2008.
Microsoft AD plays a central part, and many applications authenticate against it. Most of them, unfortunately, via LDAP. Currently we're running our internal Maven Repository on Archiva (in Tomcat), but we're deploying via scp. I would like to migrate to Kerberos Authentication and Dav deployment, which would enormously reduce the maintenance effort. Using Tomcat the migration to Kerberos should be easy and straight forward enough. But with the current authentication plugin support, the deployment in Maven is going to be a problem. The only thing I have found which goes remotely in this direction is: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGON-181 which hasn't been touched in over 2 years. Wendy suggested it's easy enough to implement, but unfortunately my Java (not JEE, Java) experience has gone a bit rusty, when in the last ten years I didn't put it to use. So I'm writing here now, to ask if anyone else has a need for GSSAPI/Kerberos in their environment, or maybe even if someone has the knowhow and the leisure to implement it. Thank you for you attention.
