    The short answer: you can't.

    Kerberos is implemented in the Sybase client code layer, not by the Sybase::DBlib or Sybase::CTlib modules themselves.

    Sybase has been saying for the last 10 years (at least) that DBlibrary will not be upgraded to support all the new functionality, and that you should migrate to ClientLibrary.
    For perl this means Sybase::CTlib, or DBI/DBD::Sybase, which should both support Kerberos based authentication logic.

    I think that you need to find out more about what you are talking about, so that you can tell us what you’re talking about...   :-/

      Hi

      I think I have written my problem in simple language.
      I will reframe it.We have some old applications written in perl where sybase DBlib is used for Db operation.
      DBI and Sybase::Ctlib module supports kerberization but there is no such possibility exists for sybase::DBlib module.

      I need experts advice on implementing kerberization for these perl applications.
