Kerberos bugs folks,
I've been looking into how much work it would take to make the
DCE Security Server (based on a V5 KDC) service Kerberos V4
requests at the same time. In doing so I came across a potentially
nasty problem. It appears that the "string to key" functions
are different in V4 and V5. Therefore, string passwords created
with V5 tools will not be usable by V4 clients and vice versa.
Am I correct in assuming this?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.
