regarding kerberos for different plateforms

Hello all,

I have an application, in which client is running in C++ and server is
running in java plateform.

Now I want to make the peers authenticated and the communication channels
encrypted using Kerberos.

Is it possible?

Although Kerberos authentication mechanismis available in C++ as well as in
Java (e.g. GSS-API), BUT the problem is that there is a seperate set of send
and receive commands for sending and receiving security context for C++ and
Java. So I can not send the security context or credentials from one
plateform (say C++) and receive it on another plateform (say Java).

So, the question is, how to integrate Kerberos between c++ and Java?

Is it possible or not?
Is there any other method to solve the same?

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
