The KDC creates a ticket-granting - ticket (TGT) for the client, encrypts it using the client's - password as the key, and sends the encrypted TGT back to the - client. The client then attempts to decrypt the TGT, using - its password. If the client successfully decrypts the TGT, it - keeps the decrypted TGT, which indicates proof of the client's - identity. The TGT permits the client to obtain additional tickets, - which give permission for specific services. - Since Kerberos negotiates authenticated, and optionally encrypted, - communications between two points anywhere on the internet, it - provides a layer of security that is not dependent on which side of a - firewall either client is on. - The Kerberos V5 package is designed to be easy to use. Most of the - commands are nearly identical to UNIX network programs you are already - used to. Kerberos V5 is a single-sign-on system, which means that you - have to type your password only once per session, and Kerberos does - the authenticating and encrypting transparently. - -Jacques Vidrine <n@nectar.com> |
