Dear all, we have a Linux (RH-Fedora Core 2) Server authenticating to Active Directory using Kerberos 5 and winbind. I've setup cvs (cvs-1.11.18 from cvshome.org) to use the :gserver:-protocol for GSSAPI-kerberos5-authentication which works perfectly well from other linux-machines. SSH(!)-GSSAPI-authentication also works from Windows-machines using the newest putty from css-security.com without providing a password simply using the windows-credentials. Is there a way to do Single Sign On (SSO) from Windows-Machines to our CVS-Server? If possible I'd like to use CVSNT with the :gserver:-protocol but other SSO-solutions are very welcome. I'd be important though that no cleartext password be transferred over the network and users don't have their password stored in nearly-cleartext on their computer as default :pserver:-login does. I've been trying to use the newest cvsnt using gserver-authentication and I always got the error-message GSSAPI authentication failed: The specified target is unknown or unreachable A thread in the internet ( http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2004-February/010551.html and http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2003-July/007684.html) says that gserver-authentication isn't under active development. Is this still the case? Can you point me to a working version (1.11.1.3 ?) or another windows-gssapi-capable cvs? I'm I doing something wrong? Are there other solutions? Any help is very greatly appreciated, Yours Andreas Bergen
