    2: "Kerberos and LON-CAPA, The Way it Should Be Done"
    3:   contributed by Scott, sharrison@users.sourceforge.net
    4:   loncapa/doc/krb_note.txt
    5: -------------------------------------------------------
    6: 
    7: This document should be read by those with experience
    8: administering RedHat Linux systems.
    9: 
   10: NOTE: Most people will just use the LON-CAPA-krb4
   11: rpm (available from http://install.lon-capa.org/).
   12: You probably only would want to look at this document
   13: if you NEED kerberos (it is not necessary for many
   14: institutions)AND if you are installing on a NON-REDHAT
   15: operating system.
   16: 
   17: Software dependencies:
   18: 
   19: * You will likely need 'devel' rpms
   20: 
   21:   RedHat 7.* note:
   22:   Need several devel rpms to compile kerberos...
   23:     db3-devel
   24:     db2-devel
   25:     libtermcap-devel
   26: 
   27: Here are the steps:
   28: 
   29: * Get the perl kerberos module from CPAN (http://www.cpan.org/)
   30:   The module version I got was
   31:   Krb4-1.1
   32: 
   33: * Get athena-kerberos-version-4
   34:   The tarball looks like this:
   35:   krb4-0.10.1.tar
   36:   IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS THE SWEDISH VERSION, NOT THE MIT
   37:   VERSION.
   38:   NOTE THAT KERBEROS VERSION 4 IS A VERY DIFFERENT THING
   39:   THAN KERBEROS VERSION 5.  (Although newer versions of
   40:   Kerberos version 5 claim to be backwards compatible with
   41:   Kerberos version 4...we have not tested this yet.)
   42:   
   43:   On the world-wide web, an example URL to get this is
   44:   http://sunsite.ualberta.ca/pub/Mirror/kth-krb/src/
   45:   Suffice it to say the tarball will likely be maintained/retained
   46:   for sometime in the sunsite-->metalab-->ibiblio repository system
   47: 
   48:   There are several more recent releases since Sept 1999, perhaps
   49:   we should try to use them in the future.
   50: 
   51: * Install athena-kerberos-version-4 by
   52:   altering configure.in to read
   53: [root@kirk krb4-0.10.1]# diff configure.in configure.in~
   54: 27c27
   55: < AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/usr/local/krb4)
   56: ---
   57: > AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(/usr/athena)
   58:      
   59:   In other words, /usr/local/krb4 is what you want on this line!!!!
   60: 
   61: * Generate new configure file by typing this command:
   62:  
   63:    autoconf configure.in > configure
   64: 
   65: * Then, of course:
   66:    ./configure
   67: * Then compile:
   68:   make
   69: * Then install:
   70:   make install
   71: 
   72: * The perl module will now install correctly
   73:   (otherwise it would have been severely upset
   74:    due to kerberos being in /usr/athena as opposed to /usr/local/krb4).
   75: 
   76: * Perl module installation is as usual:
   77:   perl Makefile.PL; make; make test; make install
   78: 
   79: * Go get a cup of coffee so you don't see all the weird warning
   80:   messages that flash at you.
   81: 
   82: * It really works.
