Conceptual Questions

[Tadoori \(EXT\)\, Vilas]

Hi Simon,

 

I have few questions and would appreciate if you can help me out on the same.

 

1)

Is it possible for the  client-side application to obtain a security token from the Host OS without talking to the Kerberos server ?

 

2)

What are the types of tokens one can obtain from an Kerberos server? For example, can a token be obtained that allows a receiver to vend additional tokens? Or, that a token can be issued which limits the user to use with a certain application?

 

I am currently pursuing a R&D project and I am struck at this point to obtain the answer. I would really appreciate your response on the same.

 

Best Regards

Vilas.
