a. These are the libraries that Adaptive Server Enterprise is using for its GSS functionality.b. All Solaris 8 platforms in this table are 32-bit.c. All Active Directory entries in the table refer to an Active Directory server running on Windows 2000. For Kerberos interoperability, Active Directory users must be set to “Use DES encryption types for this account.”d. Used Wedgetail JCSI Kerberos 2.6. The encryption type was 3DES.e. Used Wedgetail JCSI Kerberos 2.6. The encryption type was DES.f. Java 1.4.x has a bug which requires that clients use System.setProperty("os.name", "Windows 2000"); to ensure that Java can find the in-memory credential on Windows XP clients. |
