Components of Various Kerberos Releases

Components of the Kerberos service have been included in many releases. Originally, the Kerberos service and changes to the base operating system to support the Kerberos service were released using the product name “Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism” which was shortened to SEAM. As more components of the SEAM product were included in the Oracle Solaris software, the contents of the SEAM release decreased. Starting with the Oracle Solaris 10 release, all components of the SEAM product are included, so there is no longer a need for the SEAM product. The SEAM product name exists in the documentation for historical reasons.

The following table describes which components are included in each release. Each product release is listed in chronological order. All components are described in the following sections.
