We currently have a telnet application that connects to a telnet host
running on our private network.
We have a need to access this telnet host via the open internet. We want to
do this securely.
And we want to be able to use our existing telnet software to do this - if
this is possible. This means that once the secure connection is established,
we want the use of this secure connection to be transparent to our client's
telnet application.
So after implementation your proposed solution - a user logged onto the open
internet would:
1.) Using the right software such as kinit, the user would be able to
establish a secure connection to our server.
2.) Then using any plain-jane telnet program, telnet to our host IP address.
Anyone not successfully completing Step 1, would be unable to perform step
2.
Can kerberos can accomplish this?
Thanks

P.S. Does anyone know if a CISCO router can act as a KDC host?
