Kerberos 1.6.3 on centos 4/5??

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi

My problem is related to clientless authentication for printing. We are 
evaluating if it's worth the trouble on centos. Uppgrading cups is not a 
problem That i have already solved. Further research also states that 
kerberos have to be version 1.6.3. This is a big problem. Neither centos 
4 nor centos 5 have the required version of kerberos. Compiling my own 
compile kerberos is not something i want to do!

Is it worth it or even possible to upgrade kerberos to 1.6.3 or will we 
most likely break something else with an upgrade?? No rpms are available 
and i suppose there's a reason for that. There's no problem compiling 
cups or kerberos on both platforms. I just wanna find out if it is worth 
the trouble we will get or if it's possible/recommended to do it?!?!.

Best Regards,
Thomas

Using Kerberos Authentication
CUPS 1.3 adds Kerberos support which allows you to use a Key 
Distribution Center (KDC) for authentication on your local CUPS server 
and when printing to a remote authenticated queue. This document 
describes how to configure CUPS to use Kerberos authentication and 
provides helpful links to the MIT help pages for configuring Kerberos on 
your systems and network.

System Requirements
The following are required to use Kerberos with CUPS:
Heimdal Kerberos (any version) or MIT Kerberos (1.6.3 or newer)
