Greetings,
My name is Mitch Thurston. I am the technology coordinator for the arts and sciences libraries at Dartmouth College. Our computing infrastructure is quite interesting here. We operate in both a windows and mac environment, to which kerberos authentication is heavily integrated.
My question is this: Recently I ordered and installed two 64bit windows machines. I am experiencing difficulty finding work-arounds and solutions to the kerberos authentication within this environment. Is there anything available for 64bit windows machines?
Second question, if there is not, what might the timeline be for providing 64bit support.
Third question, are there any workarounds, or methods of forcing kerberos 5, to work in a 64bit environment..
Thanks for your assistance,
-Mitch
Mitch:
64-bit Windows provides two separate operating environments, 64-bit
Native and 32-bit WOW64. The WOW64 environment on XP64 and 2003 64-bit
platforms has broken LSA support for Kerberos. This prevents 32-bit
applications from accessing the Microsoft Kerberos credentials cache.
If you are looking for MIT Kerberos for Windows, version 3.1 Beta 1
supports the WOW64 environment without the MSLSA: ccache support since
the Windows LSA does not work properly. It can be used with 32-bit
applications.
If you are looking for a 64-bit Native version of Kerberos for Windows,
there is nothing currently available from MIT.
