Dear all,

to summarise the options for KRB5:

1. I could use the AFS hooks and try to inject KRB5 code there. However, this 
would require me to reinstall SGE, because I have not configured it for that.
2. I could use arcx. There seems to be explicit support for renewing tickets in 
SGE, but I did not find the time to thoroughly read the docs.
3. I could use AUKS. From what I understand, AUKS has no built-in SGE support, 
but you must forward the ticket in a client-side JSV. However, it does not 
require me to enable afs/kerberos/... in bootstrap, right?
4. I could try to implement a prolog that uses S4U2Self, which is probably less 
secure. That would also need a renew "hack" like the idea with the load sensors 
one of you mentioned. 
5. The Kerberos integration mentioned in 
http://arc.liv.ac.uk/repos/darcs/sge/source/security/gss/doc/gss_customer.html: 
I am not sure whether this describes the integration "that never worked"?

Do you have any recommendation, especially wrt. (2) and (3)? From what I know 
so far, (2) seems to be most widely used. 

Just for completeness:

There is gss_acquire_cred_impersonate_name in GSSAPI to do this, so one could 
probably write an application that gets the ticket on behalf of the user in the 
prolog. Nevertheless, I am unsure whether it is a good idea to trust the SGE 
hosts delegation. And I do not know whether it would work with another KDC than 
W2k8.

Best regards,
Christoph
