Greetings,

I am trying to validate/refute which encryption types the Windows 2003
Kerberos server will support.  We know in 2000 the types were RC4 and DES
and are trying to find out if Windows 2003 supports DES3, but I am unable
to find any documentation declaring one way or the other.

Do others know if Windows 2003 Kerberos supports 3DES?  We would be using
this encryption type for principals located on a central KDC that the
Windows 2003 server would trust.

Thanks,
