New: Kerberos for Coda! This is worth a little announcement, although we still have to finish stuff off a bit. Robert Watson explored during the last few months how Kerberos can be used with Coda. Robert and I have sore fingers after we spent many hours putting it in the Coda code. We have support for Kerberos 4 and 5 and for old style Coda authentication. There is one source file which we cannot export from the US/Canada and we will make arrangements for a proper downloading procedure for this file. You will also have to set one flag in the makefile and one in a config.h file (of course this can eventually be automated with configure)). Numerous extensions can be considered to make our simple "accept user from a given realm" policy more flexible (hint hint, volunteers....). At this moment we also do not yet have stronger encryption _after_ the initial binding, but that will come too (and its easy since it is basically already possible). Well here they are: -kerberos5 -kerberos4 -good old Coda authentication! - Peter - [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ cunlog [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ ctokens Tokens held by the Cache Manager: UID=6835 : Not Authenticated [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ ./clog -kerberos5 -host sparta.odyssey.cs.cmu.edu [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ ctokens Tokens held by the Cache Manager: UID=6835 : [Expires May 12 20:57] [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ cunlog [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ ctokens Tokens held by the Cache Manager: UID=6835 : Not Authenticated [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ ./clog -kerberos4 -host sparta.odyssey.cs.cmu.edu Aquired kerberos authenticator; sending to auth server [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ ctokens Tokens held by the Cache Manager: UID=6835 : [Expires May 12 20:58] [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ cunlog [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ ./clog -host sparta.odyssey.cs.cmu.edu Password: [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ ctokens Tokens held by the Cache Manager: UID=6835 : [Expires May 12 20:58] [braam_at_sparta auth2]$ kdestroy Tickets destroyed.
