ap24-mod_auth_kerb2

Apache module for authenticating users with Kerberos v5

mod_auth_kerb is an Apache module for authenticating Web clients in a Kerberos v5 realm. Authentication may be performed via the Kerberos principal/password; it may also be done securely using SPNEGO (HTTP Negotiate auth protocol) to perform a GSSAPI/Kerberos authentication from the user's browser and Kerberos credentials directly to the server Kerberos credentials 'HTTP/host@REALM'. Because the Kerberos password is transmitted in plain text in the former mode, when using mod_auth_kerb for naive HTTP Basic (password-based) authentication, this module MUST be used in conjunction with an encryption-capable Web server (e.g. Apache) to keep that exchange private. There is no documentation provided; see the Web site for more details.
