We have developed Kerberos patch for the jTDS JDBC driver (MS SQL Server 2000+) based on the GSS-API (JDK 1.4+). It is not officially part of the jTDS release. If SQL Server/Sybase is an option for you, drop me a mail. I know I'd really appreciate comment/criticism so that I can improve the docs.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Henry B. Hotz Sent: 05 October 2006 19:57 To: [email protected] Subject: Kerberized DBMS's Available I'm looking for a DBMS that supports Kerberos for user authentication and has a JDBC client. It appears that I may have to write the support myself, unless someone can add something I haven't been able to find out. The "big three" I know about are: MySQL -- market leader, but no Kerberos support. Also AFAIK no ability to use the identity from an SSH or SSL tunnel. SASL/GSSAPI patches probably acceptable if offered. PostgreSQL -- supports Kerberos directly with the MIT API. No SASL/ GSSAPI support so Kerberos support doesn't work with the JDBC client, or on Windows (unless you build against KfW presumably). GSSAPI patches probably acceptable if done "cleanly". Oracle -- supports Kerberos directly using some pre-release MIT code independent of available any outside Kerberos libraries. Not sure if our site license allows export of the client, or if they have a Kerberos aware JDBC client. I expect not for at least one of those. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- The opinions expressed in this message are mine, not those of Caltech, JPL, NASA, or the US Government.
