principals.
• HP’s Kerberos Server Version 2.0 : The current version of the
Kerberos server supersedes the earlier MIT-based Kerberos server
(version 1.0), on HP-UX 11i.
The Kerberos Server is based on a distributed client-server
architecture. It ensures secure communication in a networked
environment by leveraging individual trust relationships. It then
brokers that trust across enterprise-wide, distributed client-server
networks.
• Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface
(GSS-API) : is an interface that provides a secure client-server
application programming. The GSS-API also provides
authentication, integrity, and confidentiality services to the calling
applications.
• Secure Internet Services (SIS) : is the built-in support for secure
Internet services such as: ftp, rcp, rlogin, telnet and the remsh
utilities. When secure Internet services are enabled, these
commands use Kerberos for authentication without sending
passwords in clear text over the network.
