Date: 18 Sep 1994 02:49:58 GMT Organization: Open Environment Corporation Lines: 21 Message-ID: <35g9sm$9sv@exile.oec.com> References: <UiR=XtC00UoQMHlccP@andrew.cmu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: outland.oec.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] : Does anyone know if there's a Kerberized RPC out there, or do I need to : build such a beast myself? The code for Kerberos authentication is neither in included in the latest ONC RPC release nor SunRPC 4.0. It has been done, however, a designator of AUTH_KERB has been reserved and I have seen support for it floating around the Solaris headers. Interestingly enough, I happen to have a release tree for Transarc Rx that has been blessed for free-redistribution. Rx is the RPC library used to implement AFS ; it uses AFS Kerberos to provide endpoint authentication, message integrity guarantees and even wire encryption. You could use the Rx code as a skeleton to get your SunRPC port underway. Let me know if this would help. I had been wanting to add K5 authentication to Sun RPC, but simply have not had the time due to my job. -- Jim Doyle
