Interface Summary | |
Credential | An interface to a Kerberos credential. |
CredentialStore | An interface to a store for Kerberos credentials. |
KeyTab | An interface to a Kerberos keytab. |
KeyTabEntry | An interface to an entry in a Kerberos keytab. |
This package defines interfaces to Kerberos Credentials and KeyTabs and their management.
A Credential
consists primarily of a {Ticket, session key}
pair which allows a user to authenticate or be authenticated to a
Kerberos or Kerberized
service, or to another Kerberos user. A CredentialStore
is a collection of Credential
for authentication to
different principals. A file-based CredentialStore
compatible with MIT Kerberos 5 (including versions 1.0.6 to 1.2)
is provided (FileCredentialStore
).
Developers are free to implement their own CredentialStore
(for instance, an in-memory CredentialStore
, or a
CredentialStore
which
is a JNI wrapper for the equivalent native Windows 2000 calls).
A KeyTab
is a table of long-term Kerberos keys indexed by
owning principal which allows the principal to authenticate and be
authenticated. A file-based KeyTab
(FileKeyTab
) is provided which is
compatible with MIT Kerberos 5 (including versions 1.0.6 to 1.2).
Developers are free to implement their own KeyTab
(for
instance, a KeyTab
with encrypted keys).
