Please note that this is by no means a definitive list; I am only listing
the ones that I know about. Corrections to this list are especially welcome.
A number of software vendors sell versions of Kerberos, or provide support
for Kerberos:
* CyberSafe sells and supports Kerberos 4 and Kerberos 5 with their
TrustBroker product. In additional to normal Kerberos passwords,
TrustBroker also supports the use of PKINIT authentication using public
key certificates.
You can find out more information from <http://www.cybersafe.com>.
* WRQ Inc. supports Kerberos on Win32 platforms with their Reflection
Secure and Reflection Signature products. This includes a telnet client
that does Kerberos 5 authentication and a graphical FTP client which
supports Kerberos 5 (GSSAPI) authentication, data integrity, and
privacy.
You can find out more information from <http://www.wrq.com>.
* Hummingbird Communications Ltd. supports Kerberos on Win32 platforms
with their HostExplorer product. This includes a telnet client that
does Kerberos 4 authentication and encryption.
You can find out more information from <http://www.hummingbird.com>.
* Columbia University's Kermit Project supports Kerberos 4 and Kerberos 5
in Kermit 95 for Windows 95/98/NT and in C-Kermit for Unix. Kermit's
scripting language can be used to automate a variety of ticket
management tasks. Kerberos authentication and DES encryption applies to
telnet connections.
The Internet Kermit Service daemon (C-Kermit 7.0) supports Kerberos for
automated client authentication.
For further information see <http://www.kermit-project.org/>.
In additional to independent vendors, a number of computer vendors have
integrated Kerberos into some of their products:
* Sun ships a basic set of Kerberos 4 utilities with Solaris (kinit,
klist, kdestroy), and the RPC that comes with Solaris supports a
Kerberos 4 authentication mechanism.
Sun has also announced a complete Kerberos 5 product that will also act
as a Microsoft KDC. This product is available world-wide with 56 bit
DES with no key recovery/escrow requirements.
For the press release on this product announcement, see
<http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/9907/sunflash.990719.1.html>.
For more specific documentation, please see
<http://docs.sun.com:80/ab2/coll.384.1/@Ab2CollView>.
* Cisco routers support Kerberos 5 authentication for incoming and
outgoing telnet connections. It was broken for a very long time, but I
have heard reports that it's fixed now. However, ticket forwarding (as
of last report) is still broken.
* Microsoft has stated that they will support some version of Kerberos 5
in Windows 2000.
