Re: [Xen-devel] kerberos support for XCP

[Michal Novotny <minovotn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that George is thinking about implementing krb5 (Kerberos) 
mechanism for Xen host authorization directly into the XCP platform, 
i.e. the kerberos credentials (obtained by kinit) could be useful when 
the company is using one kerberos server infrastructure which means the 
one-password infrastructure and they can be using it for various 
authorizations when the ticket is already obtained and it could be 
useful for e.g. accessing websites, accessing some intranet tools as 
well as this is the request to implement it into the Xen infrastructure 
so the ticket could be used for everything in their company/network 
until the ticket expires.
