Hi Ken,
I haven't read anything on the site about 1.6, but I was curious about PKINIT support. Is this in 1.6 and if not, where does capability reside on the roadmap?
Thanks!
Randy

Okay, well, no one's forcing you to use that back end. :-)

Some plugin interfaces in the krb5 library, including
preauthentication and KDC location determination; more will likely be
added in the future. Client-side support for server name referrals,
if you're using a Microsoft KDC. SPNEGO support in GSSAPI. A KDB
database abstraction layer, which is how the LDAP support was added.
(Want to write support for another database back end?) Security
patches and many other bug fixes...
Ken
