How does it talk to Kerberos. It's pretty hard to describe how GSSAPI works in a couple of sentences. GSSAPI itself is a generic security layer, though it's primarily used for Kerberos. GSSAPI basically allows using your local Kerberos ticket to authenticate to remote services.
The only clients I'm aware of to support GSSAPI at the moment are pidgin, psi and Coccinella. Other clients that rely on Cyrus SASL probably also support it. I've also submitted a patch to pyxmpp recently that adds support for it and plan to submit patches for BitlBee and libloudmouth. Other servers that support it include Wildfire and Ejabberd (with a patch). Cheers, Jelmer -- Jelmer Vernooij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://samba.org/~jelmer/ Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
