I may be about to undertake a (hopefully) short project to implement a module that can be used with LWP::Authen::Basic to utilize a Kerberos source for generating basic authentication tokens. The client is presently using NTLM, which is an occassionally-moving target thanks to the periodic "updates" Microsoft makes to the protocol.

There are issues that may interfere in general-- first and foremost, we have to get the Kerberos authentication server to run under Cygwin on an NT server. Once that is accomplished, we will then have to get one of the Kerberos modules (probably Authen::Simple::Kerberos) to work under the same environment.

We accomplish those two, I'm pretty sure I can craft athe HTTP authentication for them.

My question is this: has anyone else done this, or tried and given up in frustration? Any prior experiences would be very helpful to know at this stage.

Cheers,
