Dear readers, how are you?
It is usual reading no such good words on the complex and hard understanding of the Kerberos. Although my area is Malware Analysis, Reverse Engineering and Software Exploitation, I’ve written two articles for Oracle trying to mitigate this undesirable impression about the Kerberos. I used Oracle Linux 7.2 for implementing the solution.
The first article deeply explains Kerberos concepts and showss how to implementing it. At end, I show how to integrate SSH with it.
The second article has a more practical approach. It explain how to implement an IdM (Identity Manager Server), integrating the Kerberos with Active Directory and Samba.
Both parts follow:
part 1: Kerberos concepts + implementation + SSH (32 pages): https://community.oracle.com/docs/DOC-1004909
part 2: Kerberos + IdM + Active Directory + Samba (44 pages): https://community.oracle.com/docs/DOC-1004910
In my opinion, Kerberos is an outstanding protocol and framework, and I hope this my small contribution to community helps professionals to see it from a different point of view.
Have a nice day.
