I have a server running Apache + mod_auh_kerb which is configured to check kerberos credential when serving requests from clients.

EDIT: I added a bounty, if someone could help me figure out what I am doing wrong, its all yours. Also, I don't really care how this gets done. If there is a library that can help out, or something of that sort that would be great. Since there is no Captcha involved, I should theoretically be able to log into Flickr and add a contac...

I consider to use OAuth for Single Sign-On (SSO) with RESTful services. At first sight to use OAuth as the de-facto standard looked naturally to me. But I must confess that I don't understand how to use it for SSO. During studying OAuth I discovered more and more criticism of Auth - so much that I tend to think OAuth has failed. OAuth i...

That is the reason I am not using FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage to not interfere the ajax/json response. In this case Request.IsAuthenticated returns false, eve...
Hi Guys, I get string messages from the clients which needs to be authenticated in the server. I need to ensure that I (the server) got the exact string content which was sent by the client. I don't care about the client identity. Just the message. I thought of using hashcode or CRC algorithm. Do you have any suggestions/best practices...
I want to use HTTP Digest Authentication with a central database that stores usernames and encrypted passwords. These data should be used by different servers like Apache httpd or Tomcat for example.

We are in the process of moving some software from our test environment into a production test environment. We've ran into a problem where our service can't communicate with another 3rd party service. After a bit of packet sniffing I was able to figure out that when the message is being sent on the working system the POST has an Author...
We would like to use our own tables for user management instead of the Django "auth" tables. We already have database tables that include all of the relevant information our application needs but it isn't in the Django format. We would prefer not to have the information duplicated in two tables. We would like to utilize the auth package...
I was hoping someone could help me with a question I've come up on. I have a Session object that handles storage of general session data, I also have a Authentication object which validates a users credentials. Initially I passed the desired Authentication class name to my Session object then had a login method that created an instance...
We are in the process of upgrading from PostgreSQL 8.3 to PostgreSQL 8.4, in a large part so that we can start using certificate-based authentication. We have some Python 2.x code that accesses the database that uses PyGreSQL. Is there a way to get it or any other Python library to use a cert to access PostgreSQL? Looking through the P...
I wrote a test client and server using the Cyrus SASL library, and I'm manually forcing it to select GSSAPI as the mechanism. While debugging, I printed the md5sum of each message as it was passed between the two. I noticed that the sequence seems to be the same every time I connect. That is, if the message sequence on the first negot...
