We're wanting to port MIT Kerberos client to the Android platform as an open-source project under the MIT License, and maintain it going forward (synchronized to each release of MIT Kerberos).
There are some implementations of Java-GSSAPI (eg. the Sun/Oracle Java GSS-API under JAAS), but these are usually under a different licensing model which prevents us from redistributing. Part of the project is to find the best answer to your questions (eg. which server provider API). /thomas/ On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 2:24 PM, Brian Carlstrom <[email protected]> wrote: > I searched http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list and don't see any > outstanding requests for Kerberos support. > In my own work I'd seen references to some Kerberos cipher suites, but they > obviously can't be implemented on their own without other Kerberos > infrastructure. > Is there some specific java.* or javax.* API or server provider API you are > specifically targeting? > I'm somewhat familiar with Kerberos having ported it across > more traditional OS's in my youth, but have little experience with it in a > Java environment, and have not thought out the general issues that might be > present when each app runs in an independent UID with regard to how ticket > management etc might work. > -bri > > On Tue, Aug 9, 2011 at 11:06 AM, Thomas Hardjono <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> Thanks Brian, >> >> We are starting a new project at the MIT-KC to develop Kerberos >> support for Dalvik (eg.
