hello everyone

[Frank Balluffi]

Jason,

GSSAPI is a standard API with two bindings: C (RFC 2744) and Java (RFC 2853). There is no standard API for Kerberos. MIT Kerberos API is proprietary. Advice: step through MIT's Kerberos utilities, and GSSAPI sample client and server in a debugger and capture the network traffic with a sniffer (e.g., Ethereal) -- I know of no better way to learn Kerberos.

Not to be off topic but what about developing using the krb api?

My topic is entitled "Prevention of ticket snatching in the Kerberos system".  I just need to compliment the existing security mechanisms already in place and therefore I have made my presentation to my supervisor on how I intend to do that.

One computer is a client, another will be an authentication server and the third will be the application server.  In short I need to have a Kerberos session or system in place; get it running ad  then make my proposals/changes  on a running system.
