GSSAPI Sample Client (gss.exe)

[Dave Kelly]

Hi,

What is it about this GSSAPI Sample Client (gss.exe) sample that "is not 
compatible with the Platform SDK/Samples/Security/SSPI/GSS/ samples which 
Microsoft has been shipping as of January 2004"?

I noticed that the Microsoft sample appears to improperly prepend 4-octet 
buffer length values to the token buffers during the send/receive of context 
establishment negotiation tokens.  I thought that wasn't supposed to be done 
until after the context was "complete" and the security layer was in effect. 
...(?)

Anyway, I'm working on a POP3 server app that runs on Windows Server 2003 
(w/ Active Directory) and I'm having trouble finding a client anywhere that 
does Kerberos v5 (GSSAPI) SASL Mechanism (per RFC 4752 or prior) to test it 
out with.  (Eudora doesn't work.)  I want to give your sample client a shot 
and see if I can make it work.

If you have revised versions of the MS samples that are compatible with your 
client, I'd like to look at them.

Thanks.
