AD-TOKEN is an authorization data that wraps a token. When ticket is issued to 
honor a request with token credential, an authorization data in the type can be 
created and put into the ticket. The token or the token derivation can be 
wrapped in the data, so in application side, the authz data and the token can 
be queried and retrieved to enforce fine-grained authorization control using 
the richful token attributes.

Yeah, we haven't used it yet. In fact, the whole authorization data part is 
lacking in current Kerby server side to be implemented. You may find many types 
defined but not used yet, such are indications we have much work to do. :(

Kai

Subject: AdToken usage ?

Hi,

there is a class named org.apache.kerby.kerberos.kerb.type.ad.AdToken.
What is it used for ? (there is no reference to this class anywhere in Kerby 
code)

AD-TOKEN ::= SEQUENCE {
      token     [0]  OCTET STRING,
}
