I'm pleased to announce our latest white paper "Recommended Practices for Deploying & Using Kerberos in Mixed Environments", is now available at:
http://www.kerberos.org/software/mixenvkerberos.pdf This document explores some of the many issues that emerge when deploying and using Kerberos in mixed environments, and presents guidance on addressing these issues and recommends practices for minimizing problems while optimizing the value of Kerberos as a consistent, crossâplatform authentication solution. The target audience includes IT professionals with responsibility for infrastructure planning, strategy, architecture, and technology refresh. While the focus is on how Kerberos can be used effectively in mixed environments, it also addresses many issues that will be encountered by people who primarily deal with homogeneous environments. In addition, we have received many comments on earlier white papers that have improved the quality and completeness of these works. I welcome additional comments you might have on these: "The Role of Kerberos in Modern Information Systems http://www.kerberos.org/software/rolekerberos.pdf "The MIT Kerberos Administrator's How-to Guide" http://www.kerberos.org/software/adminkerberos.pdf "Best Practices for Integrating Kerberos Into Your Application" http://www.kerberos.org/software/appskerberos.pdf "Why is Kerberos a Credible Security Solution?" http://www.kerberos.org/software/whykerberos.pdf Please note, that these white papers are made available under the same copyright as the MIT Kerberos software, which grants permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this documentation for any purpose.
