Kerberos GSS-API library for UNIX (running SAP)

[Eric Labiner]

Hi Gokul,

SAP does not officialy offer gss-api libraries to systems other then
Windows. There was a product call BC SNC adapter, but it's
discontinued and not supported by SAP.
There is a somewhat dated guide in the group about how to configure it
on Linux env. using the MIT kerberos module source.
For a solid and supported solution, you should check the SAP certified
verndor list for licensed SNC providers:
