32 This package contains utility classes related to the Kerberos network
33 authentication protocol. They do not provide much Kerberos support
34 themselves.<p>
35
36 The Kerberos network authentication protocol is defined in
37 <a href=http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4120.txt>RFC 4120</a>. The Java
38 platform contains support for the client side of Kerberos via the
39 {@link org.ietf.jgss} package. There might also be
40 a login module that implements
41 {@link javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule LoginModule} to authenticate
42 Kerberos principals.<p>
43
44 You can provide the name of your default realm and Key Distribution
45 Center (KDC) host for that realm using the system properties
46 java.security.krb5.realm and java.security.krb5.kdc. Alternatively, you
47 can provide an MIT style configuration file called krb5.conf in
48 &lt;java-home&gt;/lib/security. If you place this file elsewhere, you can
49 indicate that location via the system property java.security.krb5.conf.<p>
