ANNOUNCE: krb5-auth-dialog 0.9.1

Recommended Posts

What is it?

===========

krb5-auth-dialog is a tray applet for the GNOME desktop that monitors

and refreshes your Kerberos ticket. It pops up reminders when the ticket

is about to expire.

 

It features ticket autorenewal and supports pkinit.

 

What's changed in 0.9?

======================

* add DBus service so applications can make krb5-auth-dialog check if the user

has a valid Kerberos ticket and if not let krb5-auth-dialog get one

(prompting for the password if necessary).

* grab the keyboard when the dialog is open, avoids typing the password

accidentally into other apps

* watch the credentials cache via a file monitor. Speeds up notifications when

the ticket cache gets modified by other applications

* add a preferences capplet

* make ticket flags like renewable, forwardable, proxiable configurable

* make pkinit anchors configurable

* bug fixes and cleanups

 

Where can i get it?

===================

krb5-auth-dialog is available at:

http://download.gnome.org/sources/krb5-auth-dialog/0.9/

 

Where can i get more information?

=================================

Screenshots, Todo list, etc. are at:

Cheers,
