You might want to check kfw-3.2.3 :
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/testing.html#kfw-3.2.3
There are some issues though :
- Last time I checked, it lacked the pdb files needed for debugging (I
had to debug in 32 bit mode with kfw-3.2.2).
- Although it works well for me, It's been an alpha release for a few month now.
The second point is a source of concern : I wonder about the liveness
of the kerberos for
windows port. Windows has been 64 bits for a few years by now, I'm not
sure we can consider
Kerberos to be cross platform (through gss-api) any longer.
