I'm not sure where you got the understanding that everything was moving
to kerberos. Did we say that somewhere?

 For ssh keys, we are looking at various options. Possibly ssh
certificates. Patrick has been investigating this.

For all the web apps we have now (except wiki, but it should move soon),
we should have openid or openid-connect. In that case if you have a
valid kerberos ticket, your browser is configured right (default in all
recent ones), you automatically can authenticate via ipsilon.

ie, you click the login thing, it redirects to ipsilon, which sees you
have a valid kerberos ticket and just authenticates you. Do you not see
this happening there?

So, they are all tied together via ipsilon (except ssh keys, and wiki
login).

Once we have a concrete plan for ssh we will be happy to share it.
