Hi, Kerberos is one of those technologies I've been meaning to find out about but never had any real cause to, as I've never administered a network beyond my home LAN. However, with the advent of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, it seems that Kerberos is now being used for authentication on my home LAN!
Sam Hartman's page at http://www.painless-security.com/blog/2007/10/p2p-kerberos/ describes LKDC: realms (which are based on the hash of a public key) and says that "a KDC location plugin allows the Mac to find out how to contact the appropriate KDC for one of these peer-to-peer realms". However, I haven't been able to find out any further information about this from anywhere. Does anyone know where I might find a description of this KDC location plugin, or better yet, a fuller explanation of all of these extensions to Kerberos? Many thanks, Hamish ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
