KCRAP........

Kerberos a great network authentication protocol, but unfortunately it does not have adequate support for challenge-response type authentication. There are several reasons why we want to extend Kerberos to support generic challenge-response authentication:
- Single password database - eliminates the need for complicated password-change procedures and simplifies securing the single password database.
- Support for legacy programs - Many legacy or closed-source program does not have support for Kerberos, but implements some type of challenge-response protocol.
- Compatibility with existing Kerberos clients - there is no need to migrate to a new password database, only the Kerberos server and the application server needs to be upgraded to take advantage of challenge-response.
The KCRAP protocol was invented as a simple means of allowing challenge-response authentications to work with the Kerberos password database. An additional daemon (kcrapd) is required on the kerberos server, and application servers can link against the KCRAP library to authenticate users.
Installation instructions can be found in the README file.
