ANNOUNCEMENT: KCA Provider 2.1 for Network Identity Manager (aka kx509)

[Jeffrey Altman]

Secure Endpoints Inc. is proud to announce the availability
of the Kerberized Certificate Authority Provider (aka kx509)
version 2.1 for Network Identity Manager.

The KCA provider enables Network Identity Manager to
obtain one or more X.509 certificates for each configured
identity from Kerberos realms that have deployed a
Kerberized Certificate Authority service.  The obtained
certificates are stored in the Windows logon session's
"my certificate store". 

The KCA provider distribution includes a PKCS#11 module
that will enable applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird
to access the KCA issued certificates.

Version 2.1 improves upon prior releases in the following
ways:
 
 * Memory leaks have been eradicated

 * Support for 64-bit Kerberos for Windows is provided

 * KCA Services with longer issuer names are accepted

 * The retry algorithm has been significantly improved
   in order to better handle packet loss.

All users of prior KCA provider releases are encouraged
to upgrade.

The latest KCA provider can be downloaded from

  https://www.secure-endpoints.com/#kcacred

Documentation can be reviewed at

All software distributions from Secure Endpoints Inc. are
digitally signed using a Verisign Authenticode certificate.
