An explicit mapping is one that can be configured, represented, and returned by the protocol defined in this document. An implicit mapping is site- or implementation-specific. Examples of implicit mapping would be translation of a client authenticating as Kerberos 5 principal u...@realm to a PTS name of user, and of a client authenticating as Kerberos 5 principal host/sample.host.n...@realm to a PTS name of rcmd.sample, before an AFS ID is looked up and returned. _______________________________________________ AFS3-standardization mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/afs3-standardization
