Hi, I have what may seem like a Kerberos n00b question.
I've been around, but largely ignored, Kerberos for years. As I'm now investigating doing things with it, and really liking what I'm seeing, I'm starting to wonder if there are any security guidelines about where it's safe to use Kerberos.
It's my (mis?)understanding that communications between Kerberos clients and the KDC are in the clear (but do not include the password), and that there is functionally no communications between a remote server and the KDC.
As such, I'm wondering if it would be relatively safe enough to use Kerberos to authenticate to a VPS in the cloud when both the client and KDC are on the LAN. I think Kerberized SSH would be the only Kerberos related traffic across the Big Bad Internet to the VPS. Is this correct?
Can anyone point me to some general reading that any /a ll Kerberos n00b should read? (I've been following How-Tos and gotten a lot to work.)
Thank you in advance. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
