Tom,
Thanks. I am pleased that it is only considered to be short term solution, but I am wondering if anybody will implement something which is short term and has so many weaknesses.
Our solution is already RSA Certified - just visit http://rsasecured.com and search for Kerberos. Do MIT also plan to get RSA to certify the MIT 1.9 solution ?
Take care,
Tim

This is based on the SAM-2 protocol.

The SAM solution is an interim measure to support existing deployments, and is not our long-term strategy for OTP. The current draft draft-ietf-krb-wg-otp-preauth-13 is more promising as a long-term OTP strategy, because it is intended to work with FAST.
