Subject: Kerberos Security Token and WS-Trust STS



<img

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.

Kind regards
Oliver Wulff
