When thinking about gateways and what Ipsilon may do, I came across this thesis:
https://davidben.net/thesis.pdf and source https://github.com/davidben/webathena His approach to unifying web and non-web technologies was to build gateways for non-web services such that browser based clients could be written without changing the server side. I'm not sold on that approach. However, the source repository includes a browser-based javascript implementation of the Kerberos protocol and a python gateway to a KDC. Users can kinit from the browser the way Kerberos intended (password does not go over the wire). Is it possible to do a pure-javascript, all browser based kinit/spnego so that users don't have to pop out to the command line to kinit? One still would not have the ability to ssh into a console after doing an in-browser kinit, but all the websites in the target domain should recognize the credentials. Worthwhile or dumb?
