According to something I read on sunsolve, on Solaris 8 Sun forgot to remove the Kerberos 4 man pages when they removed the Kerberos 4 libraries and other code.

To reinforce what other people have said: 1) there is no "native" API for Kerberos on Solaris, you use GSSAPI, and 2) there is no mechanism within GSSAPI for acquiring an initial tgt for a client, you use kinit or pam_krb5. (Of course if you didn't believe a sun.com answer I don't know why you'd believe a nasa.gov one on those points. ;-)

hello all,

does seam support kerberos API calls? I need to implement a kerberos



I'm pretty sure this has already been answered several times, but the answer is no. The Kerberos API is not exposed to programmers when using SEAM.

client app that needs to get initial credentials and So far based on
my investigation, SEAM doesn't seem to have kerberos api calls. I
found krb_get_cred but I believe these are kerberos 4 API calls and
besides I dont' have a libkrb. hehehe so that is a problem too.



Yup, thats old and broken Kerberos V4 code that should not be used
(you must be using Solaris 8, cuz that stuff is not in Solaris 9 or later).
