Hi,
Thanks for the reply and sorry I missed the other question (my Google-foo is apparently a
bit weak today ;-).
To cut it short, this is not possible because many login programs
need to information about the user before the password or other credentials
are
available.
Would you folks be open to a patch which adds a flag to use the users own Kerberos
credentials for environments where hosts are less trusted (ie. desktop deployments)? The
documentation could add a warning that this won't work for all deployment
scenario's.
I understand this might be a problem for applications like ssh however those kind of
applications are not part of a normal office desktop deployment I think. Those type of
applications are usually part of server deployment scenarios where the host itself is also
more trusted then some desktop sitting in an office.
Kind regards,
Jasper
