I have the following problem. I'm doing research for the possibilities
to implement Kerberos in our corporate network. The network is built up
with only terminals, connect via terminal servers to the LAN to work
with the provided applications on the computersystems. Users don't have
a workstation to work on.

Furthermore, the users of remote offices are connected via only a terminal,
the terminal server and the WAN to use the applications in our computer
centre. The terminal server isn't managed by our company on account of
boarding out.

In general, how do people solve authentication of users working only with
a terminal? Is it possible that a PC connected with the terminal server
handles all the Kerberos request between the terminal and the Kerberos
server?
