I had already user experience with Kerberos, but now I wanted to install it myself. I took the MIT Kerberos implentation. Even I was used to use “single-sign-on” with SSH keys, it was amazing to see how ssh, telnet, smbclient and ldapsearch on an Active Directory Server works without logging in. Kerberos is also capable to encrypt telnet network traffic.
Installation was fast, too. It took only long to understand the architecture of Kerberos. Fortunatelly oreilly has a nice book, too.
