A few months ago, I sent a message to this list announcing that I was working on a Kerberos book for O'Reilly and Associates. I received quite the response from my posting. Well, after about a year of work, I'm pleased to announce that the book is now available for pre-order and should be on bookshelves in a few weeks. O'Reilly has a book page up at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/kerberos/ and I'll be following up on the O'Reilly Network once its released with some Kerberos-related articles - the first of which is how to use the SPNEGO implementation to achieve web-based Kerberos authentication with IE clients and Apache servers on Unix (thanks for releasing that to open source, Markus!)
Since it seems O'Reilly hasn't posted the table of contents yet, here's a basic overview of what's covered:
- Introduction & terminology
- Protocols (Needham-Schroeder, Kerberos 4, and Kerberos 5)
- Implementations (MIT, Heimdal, MS Windows, and Mac OS X client functionality)
- Troubleshooting problems
- Practical security issues & solutions
- Overview of some available Kerberized applications
- Advanced topics; cross-realm authentication, Windows/Unix interop, etc.
- Finally, a small case study and discussion of some future Kerberos directions including public key and Kerberos referrals
I've met some great people on this list through this project and I'd like to give them my sincere thanks at this point. They've provided great expertise and have helped to make this book as technically accurate as possible.
Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions or want more information.
