1Krb5 provides an object oriented interface to the most commonly used 2functions included in the Kerberos 5 API. It was developed and tested 3using Perl 5.005_03 and MIT Kerberos 5 version 1.0.5 and 1.1.1. 4 5NOTE: This module is very out of date, though it should still work with recent 6Kerberos 5 libraries. Version 2.0 will be a well deserved, complete rewrite. 7Following version 1.9, only bug fixes will be released for the 1.x series. 8 9Your comments and bug reports are welcome. Please send them to me at 10jeff@smashing.org. 11 12 13REQUIREMENTS 14------------ 15o Perl 5.004_04 or later (may work with 5.003). 16o Build, test and install MIT Kerberos 5 version 1.0.5 or later. 17 18 19BUILDING & INSTALLATION 20----------------------- 21Krb5 is built and installed in the usual Perl module fashion: 22 231) edit Makefile.PL and change the variables in the top section according 24 to your Kerberos 5 configuration. 252) perl Makefile.PL 263) make 274) make test (not implemented yet) 285) make install 29 30 31DOCUMENTATION 32------------- 33'make' should create man pages for Krb5 which will be installed upon a 34'make install'. Perl POD documentation is supplied in Krb5.pm, which can 35be viewed by typing 'perldoc Krb5'. 36 37Take a look at the sample and simple clients and servers for some 38practical examples. 39 40NOTE: The documentation assumes familiarity with Kerberos 5 and Kerberos 41programming. Please see the Kerberos documentation for gory details. 42 43 44BUGS & PROBLEMS 45--------------- 46o The contents of a new Krb5::Address object needs to be converted to 47 network byte order before being passed to Krb5::Address->new(). 48 If this is not done, many functions like mk_priv and rd_priv will fail 49 on little-endian platforms. I will try to make this automatic in a 50 future version. 51 52 53ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 54---------------- 55Thanks to Doug MacEachern for handing off this module to me, although I'm 56sure he was glad to get it off his back! 57 58Valuable code contributions from Scott Hutton (shutton@indiana.edu). 59 60
