Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism (Kerberos V5) Client Support

This feature provides the Kerberos V5 client-side infrastructure, an addition to the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM), and utility programs that can be used to secure RPC based applications, such as the NFS service. Kerberos provides selectable strong user or server level authentication, integrity, or privacy support. The Kerberos clients can be used in conjunction with Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism (SEAM) (a part of SEAS 3.0) or other Kerberos V5 software (for instance, the MIT distribution) to create a complete single network sign-on solution.
