i18n issue for kerberos error messages

2003-12-09 Thread Kent_Wu
Hi, I believe I can get all the kerberos error codes/messages somewhere on-line, however I'm wondering has any efforts been done for the localization of it assuming somebody might want to present the error messages in different locales. I know this might sound a bit impractical since user

encryption algorithm used by kerberos

2003-11-14 Thread Kent_Wu
Hi, In the kerberos authentication process, it does encryption a lot to guarantee the security. Hoever from the materials I read it seems it's using DES encryption method behind it which is not considered safe anymore, so are we going to use a more advanced algorithm or we've done that

Are you sure Heimdal is thread-safe? Like a month ago I checked with them and theirs is not thread-safe either. Kent -Original Message- From: Nikola Milutinovic [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 10:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MIT Kerberos: is it Thread-Safe?

Hi Tim, Yes, I'm interested. My question is does I.E or netscape support kerberos authentication? My impression was not however my data might be outdated. Then even if the browser supports, it means the browser needs to get TGT and service ticket for proxy/web server, and the proxy/web

Is that true when IIS issues "WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate" it actually means NTLM? Supposedly after win 2000 Kerberos replaced NTLM to became the default authentication mechanism in win but I'm not sure how they integrate kerberos into HTTP traffic. And if kerberos authentication is doable, how

Sam, thx for the info. Two questions: 1.After I downloaded the MIT Kerberos package, there is a doc folder created however I couldn't find the description for API krb5_get_init_creds_password(), did I miss something here? 2. Basically what I want to achieve is that assuming I already have user/
