As part of a SW package under development here we're controlling a number of terminals through a single process. We'd like to use Kerberos to handle end-user authentication and service requests. Has anybody tried to use Kerberos in this kind of "threads" environment (note: we're not using Mach)? If so, could you share how you got around blocking problems and how you managed the multiple user id's. We've considered forking a process to handle sign-ons, but doing this for service request validation is too expensive. We've also considered modifying the Kerberos code to eliminate the blocking. We're developing on NCR Towers running SV.3. We're also in the process of installing Kerberos in this environment. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated. I'll summarize email responses. Thanks in advance. -------------------------- Donn Holtzman Donn.Holtzman@SanDiego.NCR.COM NCR E&M San Diego 16550 W. Bernardo Dr. San Diego, CA 92127
