The KRB5-Client product helps to provide
Kerberos authentication and strong cryptography for secure communication
over the network.
The Generic Security Service Application Programming
Interface (GSS-API) provides security services for applications
independent of the various underlying security mechanisms. The services
include authentication, integrity, and/or confidentiality services.
Summary
of Change |
 |
Both KRB5-Client and GSS-API are now provided in Native IPF
mode. The versions of KRB5-Client and GSS-API that are delivered
as part of HP-UX 11i v1.6. are the same as those delivered on HP-UX
11i.
The following products are available in HP-UX 11i v1.6 (IA
Release):
Details
of Change |
|
- KRB5-Client:
KRB5-Client has two additional filesets for 32 and
64-bit IA64 versions of the Kerberos Client libraries. The 32 and
64-bit IA64 libraries are available in the /usr/lib/hpux32 and /usr/lib/hpux64 directories respectively.
- GSS-API:
GSS-API has two additional filesets for 32 and 64-bit
IA64 versions of libgss.so. The 32 and 64-bit libraries are available in the /usr/lib/hpux32 and /usr/lib/hpux64 directories respectively.
Impact |
|
Users must recompile their existing Kerberos and GSS-API applications
to take advantage of the IPF features.
Compatibility |
|
Kerberos/GSS-API applications built on PA-RISC systems can
run on IA64 systems (in the PA-RISC mode).
Users have the choice of using either the PA-RISC or IA64
version of the Kerberos Client and GSS-API libraries.
Performance |
|
Applications might experience performance degradation if run
in PA-RISC mode on an IA64 system.
Obsolescence |
|
Not applicable.
Documentation |
|
There are no documentation changes.
