This package defines classes for use with Kerberos: a secure network authentication protocol. They are primarily of interest to system-level programmers writing Kerberos-based javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule implementations. Developers writing Kerberos-enabled applications should use the org.ietf.jgss package. A full description of Kerberos is beyond the scope of this book; so it is assumed that the reader is familar with Kerberos authentication.
