The MIT MacDev team is pleased to announce the availability of Kerberos for Macintosh 4.0.2. This release is available from the MIT Kerberos site: <http://mit.edu/kerberos/www/> Follow the "Getting Kerberos from MIT" link. All feedback and bug reports for Kerberos for Macintosh 4.0.2 should be sent to <mailto:[email protected]> Overview -------- Kerberos for Macintosh 4.0.2 is a maintenance update release for both Mac OS 8 & 9 and Mac OS X. The distribution download includes both KfM 4.0.2 for Mac OS 8 & 9 and KfM 4.0.2 for Mac OS X. Both installers and separate binaries are included in the distribution. Kerberos for Macintosh 4.0.2 for the Mac OS 8 & 9 requires a PowerPC Macintosh with Mac OS 8.1 or later. KfM 4.0.2 for Mac OS X requires Mac OS X 10.1.2 through 10.1.5; KfM 4.0.2 is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 ("Jaguar"), which ships with a later version of KfM - use the 10.2 built in Kerberos with the Mac OS X 10.2 Kerberos Extras instead. This is a final release, and does not expire. Changes since Kerberos For Macintosh 4.0.1 ------------------------------------------ * Mac OS X/9: Changes to Classic ticket sharing for compatibility with Mac OS X 10.2 Kerberos * Mac OS X/9: Memory leak when destroying tickets fixed * Mac OS X: Pasting password into Kerberos Login dialog now enables OK button. Ticket Sharing Between Mac OS X and Classic ------------------------------------------- The ticket sharing in KfM 4.0.2 for Mac OS 8 & 9 is compatible with both KfM 4.0.2 for Mac OS X on Mac OS X 10.1, and with the built-in Kerberos of Mac OS X 10.2. If you are using Classic ticket sharing on Mac OS X 10.2, it is essential you upgrade to KfM 4.0.2 on the Classic side. KfM 4.0.2 for Mac OS 8 & 9 is not compatible with KfM 4.0 for Mac OS X; if you upgrade to KfM 4.0.2 on the Classic side, you must upgrade your Mac OS X side to KfM 4.0.2 as well. However, it is not critical to upgrade to KfM 4.0.2 if you are still using Mac OS X 10.1. When an application running under Classic needs to display the Kerberos Login dialog, the Mac OS X dialog will appear. The Mac OS 9 version of KfM 4.0.2 detects whether it is running under Mac OS X/Classic or regular Mac OS 9.x and automatically enables support for ticket sharing when possible. Distribution Info ----------------- At this point in time, this release is available as a single package which includes installers, binaries, and SDKs. The installers install binaries for people to use with their applications in their environments. The separate binaries are intended for sites who need to create their own installers. The SDKs are for application and library programmers to add Kerberos functionality to their code or update to newer versions of the various Kerberos APIs.
