Kerberos Mechanism - Supported MAX_SSF

Hi,

It looks to me (from [1]) that we only support max_ssf of 56 (i.e. DES-56) with GSSAPI implementation of Kerberos in Cyrus SASL. Can someone please confirm on this ? I am looking for AES 256 bit encryption with Kerberos mechanism. If that's not supported is there any plan for supporting it ? Please advice.

The realm in svnserve.conf is your Kerberos authentation realm, e.g. "EXAMPLE.COM". Cyrus's GSSAPI implementation does not support encryption, except for very basic 56-bit DES.  If you leave the encrypt settings out of your svnserve.conf entirely, you're fine; just don't set max-encryption higher than 56.


Thanks,

Sorabh
