Roadmap
Project Targets
The goal of the 1.0.x release is to provide a functionally complete
implementation of the Hurderos Identity and Services Management system. This
will include the following components:
- Identity and Services Management Engine (ISME)
- Graphical Object Oriented User Inteface (GOOI)
- Service Provisioning Layer (SPL)
- Application Program Interface Library (KerDAP)
- Pluggable Authentication Module support
MIT Kerberos Enhancements
The 0.1.3 release will be the first one that builds its own customized version
of the MIT Kerberos package. In order to properly support Hurderos
authorization in the framework of Kerberized applications modifications need
to be made to the base functionality of the Key Distribution Center (KDC).
The most notable modification being the incorporation of service specific
authorization identities into service tickets.
The MIT Kerberos development team has indicated their preference for a
plug-in architecture to implement changes such as this. This strategy would
allow KDC functionality to be enhanced without the need to patch the base
distribution. The Hurderos team will be working to implement support for
their modifications through a plug-in architecture implemented with dynamic
shared libraries. The goal will be to design and implement a generic solution
which could be potentially implementable in the base MIT distribution.
