MIT Kerberos 5 Support |

|
|
======================= |

|
|
Fedora is using MIT Kerberos implementation as its Kerberos infrastructure of |
5 |
|
|
choice. The Samba build in Fedora is using MIT Kerberos implementation in order |
6 |
|
|
to allow system-wide interoperability between both desktop and server |
7 |
|
|
applications running on the same machine. |

|

|
|
At the moment the Samba Active Directory Domain Controller implementation is |
10 |
|
|
not available with MIT Kereberos. FreeIPA and Samba Team members are currently |
11 |
|
|
working on Samba MIT Kerberos support as this is a requirement for a GNU/Linux |
12 |
|
|
distribution integration of Samba AD DC features. |

|
|
|
14 |
|
|
We have just finished migrating the file server and all client utilities to MIT |
15 |
|
|
Kerberos. The result of this work is available in samba-* packages in Fedora. |
16 |
|
|
We'll provide Samba AD DC functionality as soon as its support of MIT Kerberos |
17 |
|
|
KDC will be ready. |
