Hi Rick,
I was looking for information about this EAP mechanism, called EAP-KRB by Apple, a while ago but couldn’t find any published spec for it. I also looked in Apple’s open source projects, and found that the C files where it (would be) implemented have been truncated to remove all the actual code and only leave the headers. [1]
It looks like it is a mechanism Apple have come up with but unfortunately have kept the details proprietary.
