Kerberos, the single sign-on authentication system originally developed at MIT,
deserves its name. It's a faithful watchdog that keeps intruders out of your networks.
But it has been equally fierce to system administrators, for whom the complexity
of Kerberos is legendary.
Single sign-on is the holy grail of network administration, and Kerberos is the
only game in town. Microsoft, by integrating Kerberos into Active Directory in
Windows 2000 and 2003, has extended the reach of Kerberos to all networks large
or small. Kerberos makes your network more secure and more convenient for users
by providing a single authentication system that works across the entire network.
One username; one password; one login is all you need.
Fortunately, help for administrators is on the way. Kerberos: The Definitive
Guide shows you how to implement Kerberos for secure authentication. In addition
to covering the basic principles behind cryptographic authentication, it covers
everything from basic installation to advanced topics like cross-realm authentication,
defending against attacks on Kerberos, and troubleshooting.
In addition to covering Microsoft's Active Directory implementation, Kerberos:
The Definitive Guide covers both major implementations of Kerberos for Unix
and Linux: MIT and Heimdal. It shows you how to set up Mac OS X as a Kerberos
client. The book also covers both versions of the Kerberos protocol that are still
in use: Kerberos 4 (now obsolete) and Kerberos 5, paying special attention to
the integration between the different protocols, and between Unix and Windows
implementations.
If you've been avoiding Kerberos because it's confusing and poorly documented,
it's time to get on board! This book shows you how to put Kerberos authentication
to work on your Windows and Unix systems.
