GSS-API and credential delegation

Thread view:

I am trying to use the GSS-API credential delegation functions in Java
for client impersonation (K5 env). I am having problems with getting
it to work.

(1) Are there any samples that show how to use it?

(2) Does the sun.security.jgss.GSSManagerImpl even implement
credential delegation?

thx!

Yes, I have read
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/security/jgss/tutorials/MoreToDo.html
and specifically "Using Credentials Delegated From the Client". It
seems incomplete and also incorrect.

JCSI Kerberos supports delegation. There are a couple of examples but not
specifically
showing delegation.

The api docs show how to get access to the kerberos tickets.

What specifically are you trying to do? Is this a commercial or research
project?
