| <p> |
| Enrique was dreaming of an all-Java stack and found there was a hole where Kerberos should have been. After 3 |
| long days, he had authentication working. Within a couple of weeks he was able to migrate his home network off |
| of MIT Kerberos. Realizing there would be tremendous potential if Kerberos were integrated tightly into the |
| Apache Directory, he approached Alex Karasulu in the late summer of 2004. Soon thereafter, the Kerberos |
| codebase was granted to the Apache Software Foundation and Alex began to transform the standalone Kerberos |
| server into a plugin protocol provider that heavily leveraged the SEDA frontend framework and tightly integrated |
| with the Eve read-optimized backing store. |
