    Description:


    Mod_auth_kerb is an Apache module designed to provide
    Kerberos authentication to the Apache web server. Using
    the Basic Auth mechanism, it retrieves a username/password
    pair from the browser and checks them against a Kerberos
    server as set up by your particular organization. The
    module also supports the Negotiate authentication method,
    which performs full Kerberos authentication based on
    ticket exchanges, and does not require users to insert
    their passwords to the browser

    Indications:

    Interested users can install the package.
