Hi Mark,

Please try to maintain nettiquette by using a prefix and a descriptive email subject. That way the proper people can address your concerns rapidly. Also you tacked on your questions to an existing email thread. People may ignore it if its in a thread they are not interested in. Coming out and saying it's regarding the Kerberos server may trigger people to respond.

I understand though that your problem was related to configuration. Just trying to give pointers on how you can get the best response quickest. Please don't take this personally or as a hazing its just the way we do things here - I would recommend this to anyone :-).

how to enable the Kerberos service provider? I want to minimic a dual
KDC setup (this is common in Active Directory implementations in
higher ed where you have one AD tree for students and another for
staff). ApacheDS seems to be the simplest approach.

You can turn it on in 0.9 using Kerberos specific properties using EnvKeys.ENABLE_KERBEROS set to true or on. This will start the embedded Kerberos server. Other properties also exist for configuring the KDC. These properties are found in the KdcConfiguration. Perhaps Enrique has a wiki page out there on this stuff where these properties documented.

For now look at KdcConfiguration for 0.9. It extracts properties from the environment given to it in the constructor if you look here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/directory/shared/kerberos/trunk/common/src/java/org/apache/kerberos/service/KdcConfiguration.java?rev=168482&view=markup

The JNDI provider in the main of apacheds gives these properties to the KdcConfiguration and uses that to start the KDC's protocol provider and register it with MINA.

But I can't seem to find any docs on how to actually enable the
Kerberos service provider.
Sorry about that. We should have the docs out there soon.
I'm using the .9 release of ApacheDS.

Alex
