[Fwd: kfw-3.1-beta-2 is available]

MIT has announced the release of MIT Kerberos for Windows 3.1 Beta 2.
The final release will follow in a few weeks.

>From the perspective of OpenAFS for Windows users, KFW 3.1 is important
because it is the Network Identity Manager and the OpenAFS plug-in are
feature complete.  As of OpenAFS for Windows 1.5.9, the OpenAFS plug-in
is integrated as part of the OpenAFS installation.  The plug-in provided
as part of OpenAFS 1.5.9 requires the KFW 3.1 Beta 2 or later release of
Network Identity Manager.

I wish to publicly thank Asanka Herath for all of the hard work and long
nights that he has spent working on the design of the Khimaira
framework, Network Identity Manager and the credential management
modules for Kerberos 5, Kerberos 4, and OpenAFS.  I truly believe that
Network Identity Manager is going to significantly simplify the lives
end users who must obtain and manage a variety of credentials derived
from a common identity.
