Browser authentication

[Lukas Kubin]

Thank you for answer.
The reason why I found this thread was to find which (additional)
products I need to to create a web page accessible through webserver
(Apache) when a user (client on Windows or Linux) has a valid MIT K5
ticket in their cache.

- is there any existing browser (for both Windows and Linux) suitable fo
r this?
- how does it work? does the webserver receive user's TGT or what?

Thank you.
