SEAM Components in the Solaris 8 Release

The Solaris 8 release included only the client-side portions of SEAM, so many components are not included. This product enables systems that run the Solaris 8 release to become SEAM clients without having to install SEAM separately. To use these capabilities, you must install a KDC that uses either SEAS 3.0 or the Solaris 8 Admin Pack, the MIT distribution, or Windows2000. The client-side components are not useful without a configured KDC to distribute tickets. The following components were included in this release:

• User programs for obtaining, viewing, and destroying tickets - kinit, klist, kdestroy.

• User program for changing your SEAM password - kpasswd.

• Key table administration utility - ktutil.

• Additions to the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) - Allows applications to use various authentication mechanisms. PAM can be used to make login and logouts transparent to the user.

• GSS_API plug-ins - Provides Kerberos protocol and cryptographic support.

• NFS client and server support.
