Message-ID: <20011207161949.B48707@dogma.freebsd-uk.eu.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have a basic understanding how Kerberos works, with tickets, encryption, and authentication.

How does Passport use it to lock an identity to one session on a browser somewhere? jm -- "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." - Abraham Lincoln To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
