Windows 2000 Kerberos Interoperability

While other papers discuss Kerberos in general or the Windows 2000 implementation, this work explores compatibility issues between traditional Unix implementations and Microsoft s implementation. First discussed will be Microsoft's support of the official Kerberos V5 standard RFC 1510. Next discussed will be how to configure a Windows 2000 network to work with a UNIX Kerberos implementation in a variety of common scenarios, and finally this work discusses extensions to the Kerberos standard that Microsoft has documented in a number of Internet Drafts. Overall Microsoft's Kerberos implementation is proving itself to be interoperable in all common scenarios.
