Ted,
I'm fairly new to Kerberos so maybe I'm missing some points here.
Basically, what we would like to do is to integrate the server side of
Kerberos (Authentication Service and KDC) in our own server (which is
already listening on Ldap and Http ports).
This development is only for NT (for now).
So the code I'm looking for is:
-For an NT/Intel platform.
-KDC and authentication service code
I've downloaded some code from both the MIT and Cygnus and I'm currently
spending some time on it. (As a newbie I have some hard time
understanding the different modules of this code)
Could you tell me more about this Alpha-2 snapshot? (availability,
components)
Regards
