* Package name : webauth Version : 3.2.4 Upstream Author : WebAuth Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://webauthv3.stanford.edu/ * License : MIT/X Description : cookie-based web authentication using Kerberos WebAuth is a cookie-based web authentication system built on top of Kerberos. It relies on a central authentication server that handles all user authentication for a domain and creates user authentication credentials for any web server that needs strong authentication. This package differs from mod_auth_kerb in that it will work with any browser, not just those supporting SPNEGO, without sending the user's password to each web site to which they wish to authenticate. It supports a form of single sign-on in that a user only has to autheticate once to the central authentication server and then can visit any web site within that authentication domain without needing to reauthenticate. This package comes in two sections, an Apache module and supporting library for all of the servers that want to authenticate users and an Apache module and supporting scripts for the central authentication server. It also has Perl bindings for its library, which are used by the authentication server user front-end. As a result, the current plan is to break it out into nine packages: libapache2-webauth Apache module for client web servers libapache2-webkdc Apache module for central authentication server libwebauth3-perl Perl bindings for the WebAuth libraries libwebauth1 Supporting WebAuth shared library libwebauth1-dev Development files for WebAuth shared library libwebkdc-perl Perl modules for central authentication server webauth-tests Test suite for client web server webauth-utils Command-line utils for WebAuth key management webauth-weblogin User front-end to central authentication server Note that libapache2-webkdc depends on the S/Ident libraries for full functionality. An ITP for S/Ident will be filed in a moment. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
