Re: Leveraging Kerberos for SSO

[Saqib Ali <docbook.xml () gmail com>]

Hello,

Using Kerberos is the best option for providing SSO. However it really
depends on your application. Your application needs to be able to
support Kerberos. Windows 2003 server family / Active Directory
supports Kerberos. For tying Unix/Linux workstations into that (Active
Directory) environment you should take a look at Centrify <
http://www.centrify.com/ >. Centrify provides a whole solution for
that, plus they have some very informative white papers as well. As
part of the solution, centrify provides SPNEGO for web based apps
running on *nix servers as well. So it might be worthwhile to have
centrify come and do a presentation for your company.

Please provide some details some details on the environment that you
are trying to Kerberize.  I might be able to dig up something for you.
