/etc/authentication and kerberos in Tiger

[AllanMarcus]

In Panther I was able to change the /etc/authentication file to allow my users to use a kerberos password to obtain a ticket and thus authenticate in to the Mac. I cannot seem to get this to work in tiger. When I make the same change (builtin:krb5authnoverify line in the system.login.console mechanism array) the login screen just exits to the console. Also, I don’t know where to make the change for the screen saver.

So, Anyone go Tiger authenticating against kerberos? We are using NIS for credentials and MIT kerberos for authentication.

Thanks,

Allan

Thanks busthis. I sent them an e-mail to see if they have made any progress. It’s critical for us to get this working as the new dual processor Macs seem to require Tiger. They work with Panther, but I’m told the cooling system might not function properly under panther.
