Kerberos login

[gustavo]

I know is a stupid question, but I thought maybe someone of you would be kind enough to provide some link to understand what is the Kerberos intended for.

Thanks Gustavo.-

Kerberos is the name of the authentication protocol used in Windows 2000/XP. It is used for securing authentication. Older versions of Windows used NTLM.

Kerberos

Kerberos is an authentication protocol. Windows 2000 happens to use it, but Microsoft also happened to modify it a little bit to make it not quite compatible.

Correct...(well of course Microsoft did not develop it).

If that is the case then the manufacturer of Eudora, Qualcom, should modify their Kerberos to match the OS. Should be an easy task for professional programmers.

The OS kerberos should be modified to match the spec.
