I'm trying to remember/find in my notes how a Kerberized RPC works.

Case-in-point.  A UDP based or TCP based connection is opened, one packet is
sent to the server requesting data, the ACK comes back to the client with the
requested data.  Then the connection is closed...

How is the Authentication handled?  I remember Jeff Schiller pointing out a lot
of overhead for Kerberizing this in his INTEROP class, but can niether find the
info, nor see a clean way thorugh...



Thanks
