Announce: GSSAPI Key Exchange Patch for OpenSSH 5.7p1
Hi, I'm pleased to announce the availability of my GSSAPI Key Exchange patch for OpenSSH 5.7p1. In addition to adding support for key exchange, vital for enterprise users of SSH and Kerberos, it also adds a number of other GSSAPI related features: *) Cascading Credential Renewal - when enabled, credentials renewed on your local workstation are automatically forwarded to hosts which you have logged in to. *) Load balancer support - GSSAPI connections are now supported to hosts behind a round-robin DNS load balancer *) Multi-homed host support - GSSAPI connections can be performed to hosts where each interface has a unique name *) Identity selection - the client and server identity can be selected, increasing flexibility in complex authentication scenarios. The latest version of the code is available from the git repository at https://github.com/SimonWilkinson/gss-openssh/ Patches can be downloaded from http://www.sxw.org.uk/computing/patches/openssh.html The only changes in this release are those necessary for the patch to apply to the 5.7p1 tree. Cheers, Simon.
