Kerberos™ for HP OpenVMS™

HP is pleased to announce a new, customer release version of Kerberos for OpenVMS, based on MIT Kerberos V5 Release 1.4.1 including security patches. Kerberos Version 3.1 runs on OpenVMS Alpha and I64 V8.3 and higher.

Kerberos Version 3.1 for OpenVMS (included in OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1) contains support for IPv6 at the same level as MIT's Kerberos V5 1.4.1 sources. The IPv6 functionality allows for Kerberos authentication to happen over IPv6; however, administrator functions will still need to function over IPv4 for this release. See the Kerberos for OpenVMS Release Notes for more information.

Kerberos Version 3.0 and 2.0 are also available for download. Version 3.0 runs on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2 and higher, and OpenVMS I64 V8.2 and higher. Version 2.0 runs on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-2, 7.3-1, and 7.3-2, and OpenVMS VAX V7.3.

Using Kerberos with TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, you can secure your Telnet connections between OpenVMS systems. See the Kerberos for OpenVMS Installation and Configuration Guide for detailed instructions.

For information about Kerberos for OpenVMS, including client programs, example programs, information about programming your Kerberos for OpenVMS application, and reference information for the GSSAPIs and KRB5 APIs, see HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 3: Kerberos in PDF or HTML.

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography.

Kerberos was created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a solution for network security. The Kerberos protocol uses strong cryptography so that a client can prove its identity to a server (and vice versa) across an insecure network connection. After a client and server have used Kerberos to prove their identity, they can also encrypt all of their communications to assure privacy and data integrity.

Kerberos is freely available from MIT, under a copyright permission notice. Kerberos for OpenVMS is supplied by HP under the terms of the license from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For more information on the Kerberos license, please see http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/.
