Click Here to Register for the FREE 30-Minute Webinar: http://www.dominonews.com/homepage.n...2?opendocument __________________________________________________ ___________________ PistolStar CTO, Gregg Browinski, will unveil the security and administration benefits of utilizing Microsoft Active Directory and the Windows-based Kerberos authentication protocol to achieve single sign-on to Lotus Domino applications and in smart-card environments. * Stronger authentication - Kerberos uses session tickets incorporating secret-key cryptography rather than sending plain-text passwords over the network. * Trusted third-party - Kerberos authenticates to a KDC-Key Distribution Center (Microsoft Active Directory), which issues the tickets and sends them to the designated services with users' encrypted credentials. * Multi-pronged security - Only the KDC and the service can decrypt the ticket, thus Kerberos can prevent server attacks and malicious programs that try to impersonate the server to get the user's information. * Centralizing users' information in the KDC eases administrators' workloads, as they now only need to maintain a single username/password database. * Kerberos' openness facilitates the creation of single sign-on networks, allowing users to employ only one set of credentials to access all resources. * Server-side solution - Does not require client-side software.
