Subject: Re: interoperability of Kerberos client and server
The appropriate place for this discussion is kerberos@mit.edu or the
comp.protocols.kerberos
newsgroup. The krbdev@mit.edu mailing list is meant to be used for
discussion on the
development of the MIT Kerberos implementation.
I am redirecting replies to kerberos@mit.edu
As a hint: Java JAAS modules do not perform network authentication.
They are used to obtain
local credentials which may or may not be used in the future input to
the network authentication
protocol such as GSS-API. Java provides its own implementation of
GSS-API Kerberos 5 for use
in communicating with other GSS-API Kerberos 5 compatible clients and
servers.
