Hi Team,

I am currently having a project using open source
technogies.Implementation is using Kerberos V5, OpenLDAP as LDAP server
and JAAS (J2SEE 1.4) as the authentication and authorization framework. I
some question on integrating all these technologies. I am
using JAVA do the coding.

Q1:
How JAAS help in the integration on Kerberos and OpenLDAP?

On the client side, JAAS can be used to provide JNDI with the necessary credentials (i.e. a ticket-granting-ticket) to authenticate against the LDAP Server using the GSSAPI SASL mechanism.

Q2:
What are the relationships exist between Kerberos, OpenLDAP and JAAS? I
know that Java SDK 1.4 has the package to communicate with
Kerberos V5, and JNDI to access to LDAP server? How these thing can help
me to acheive my objective?
