I can only say this: - I've been doing Kerberos for a few decades (but I'm certainly not the person with the most Kerberos experience on this list). - I've done a ton of security accreditation work at my $DAYJOB, which also involves Kerberos. As part of the accrediation work we (and others) do automated scanning that includes the Kerberos servers and this seems to satisfy the powers that be. Some of the scanning seems to detect Kerberos but I am unclear how much it actually checks for other than "Kerberos is found". - I've used the aforementioned CIS Benchmark. - I really have no clue what you mean by "frame of reference" in this context, and this corresponds to no security accreditation or auditing requirements I have ever encountered so I cannot provide any suggestions; I'm really unclear what you are asking for. --Ken ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
