Subject: Kerberos Security Token and WS-Trust STS
<img src="http://zdownload.zurich.com/mailimages/ZHP_MailHeader.gif" /> Hi there I'm dealing with Kerberos integration between a kerberized tuxedo application and web services based applications. I'm wondering why the section "GSS-API for Kerberos Interoperability" has been removed in the final WS-Security Kerberos security token spec. This chapter was part of the spec originally submitted to oasis from IBM and Microsoft: http://xml.coverpages.org/WS-Security-Kerberos200312.pdf The original idea was to use an WS-Trust STS to issue kerberos tokens by passing username/password to the STS. Of course, this has the drawback that passwords are passed over the network. The connection to the STS is secured with HTTPS. I also wanted to use the STS to verify a kerberos token and maybe transform it to a SAML security token but this would require that the STS knows the secret of the kerberos service.
