Hi Dan,
I apologize for not getting back to you earlier. I was tied up with other
tasks and then I was at the SHARE conference for a week. I will send some
additional email that should explain our requirements. We have just actually
ordered IPM (the latest version) to run under AIX with DCE. As I explained
to you over the phone, we are not a DCE shop, but we want to leverage the
existing kerberos support to allow the client to interface with our Kerberos
server. This is now a fallback position for us, since the software pieces
that you are working on should make this unnecessary.
Please do send the documentation for the port monitor interface. I have
spoken with both Alexandra Ellwood and Brad Thompson. They are not actually
part of our team, although they both work for our department. Alexandra is
currently tied up with work on Mac OS X (which will include full Kerberos
support by the way). Brad may be able to work on a kerberized port monitor
for IPM, but he would like to see more extensive documentation first. More
specifically, he would like to see the relevant source code for the server
portion (I have copied him on this email so that he can clarify). Of course
we understand that this may require non-disclosure agreements.
I will send more specific email about our requirements shortly.
