I am evaluating the suitability of Kerberos for a large scale implementation (100's of users), where the apps will primarily be running on Java App servers. I have MIT working in a test environment (Linux server, Windows clients, custom Java apps) but I'm worried about how easy it is to manage principles etc etc on a large scale.
Kadmin works fine at the current scale but in a real implementation I don't want to have to use kadmin from the console to manage user. In fact this job will be given to a userwho will certainly not want to start writing scripts/SSH'ing to the server.
Ideally a web app front end would be written - but so far from the documentation and books I've read, there's no easy way to communicate with kadmin (I'm thinking a nice C or Java API here). Surely this must be possible with one of the open source versions available.
Has anyone else tried this? Would really appreciate an answer even if it's just a simple 'yes, it's possible'
Regards
