| ## The Initiatives/Goals |
| |
| * Aims to become the preferred Kerberos server implementation in java, with rich facilities that integrate Kerberos, PKI and token (OAuth2) on both client and server sides. |
| * Provides client API to interact with any KDC server. |
| * Provides an embeddable and standalone KDC server that supports various backends for storing principals and keys. |
| * Comes with in-memory, Mavibot(MVCC BTree), JSON, LDAP and Zookeeper backends to store data. |
| * Embedded KDC server allows easy integration into products for unit testing or production deployment. |
| * Supports FAST/Preauthentication framework to allow popular and useful authentication mechanisms. |
| * Supports PKINIT mechanism to allow clients to request tickets using x509 certificate credentials. |
| * Supports Token Preauth mechanism to allow clients to request tickets using JWT tokens. |
| * Supports OTP mechanism to allow clients to request tickets using One Time Password. |
| * Provides support for JAAS, GSSAPI and SASL frameworks that applications can leverage. |
| * Minimal dependencies, SLF4J is the only external dependency in the core part. |
