Thanks Ken, I'm getting the token every time I communicate with the proxy. I was wondering if the token could be reused so that I could optimize code. Thanks for the clarification .

As a general rule, GSSAPI tokens (which in the specific case of Kerberos contain AP-REQ/AP-REP messages) are supposed to be only used once; they contain an expiration time in them and are supposed to be checked for reuse on the server side (although that may not always happen depending on implementation details). You should always get a new one by calling the appropriate APIs. Note that assuming your client is using a standard ticket cache only the first request will require contacting the KDC. --Ken ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
