/***********************************************************************
*
* README for krb5mech
*
***********************************************************************/
INTRODUCTION
krb5mech is a client authentication mechanism for the support of Kerberos 5
authentication. The mechanism leverages the services of the native Kerberos 5
client to obtain Kerberos Tokens that can be used for authenticating an entity
to a Kerberos service.
SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
The tokens that krb5mech generates are only utilized to authenticate the client
entity to the Kerberos service, because of this, auth_token relies on SSL for
server authentication. auth_token does not leverage the capabilities of GSSAPI
for data privacy and data integrity purposes.
