Hello everybody,
I have a small doubt that i'd like clear before my presentation for my
university lecturers.
This is regarding Kerbeos. I have seen some ppl in this list use the word
GSSAPI and SPNEGO along with Kerberos.
What does GSSAPI and SPNEGO means?
I ve read that GSSAPI is a generic API for doing client-server
authentication.
Is GSSAPI is a standard which govern the Client - Serve Authentication and
protocols liks NTLM and Kerberos are based on this?
Which one is the Original one GSSAPI or SPNEGO?
