Has anyone considered adding support for GSSAPI authentication/communication? The Java SDK version 1.4 adds support for GSSAPI and it would be nice to use it with the JDBC driver to provide Kerberos authentication and secure communication. I played with the code and got authentication working with the MIT GSSAPI library in auth.c (much like the Kerberos V5 code) and the org.ietf.jgss package in the JDBC driver. I haven't looked at what it would take to add the per message verification/encryption stuff. I couldn't figure out from the mail list archives what the plan and timeline is for the JDBC driver to compile with JDK 1.4 but this change couldn't be added until that problem get resolved. Any thoughts? Phil __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes.yahoo.com/
