Fifth edition of TechLetter "Uniform User Authentication" released

s+c released the fifth edition of the TechLetter "Uniform User Authentication". It deals with the subject

Integrate mobile clients into Kerberos/LDAP environments (part 1: Authentication)

Summary:
It seems to be an incompatible contradiction: Kerberos, LDAP or LDAP-based Active Directory gather information concerning user administration on central servers and make this information available to their clients via network. Generally, the main purpose of using notebooks and other mobile computers is their availability without a permanent network connection. The two-part TechLetter presents possibilities to solve this contradiction on Windows and Linux/Unix operating systems. Part one of this edition describes a reasonable use of the authentication service Kerberos on notebooks and other mobile clients.
