Michael or Harry,

Please send me the programs rpc/unit-test/client and
rpc/unit-test/server from the beta-4-based Authenticate build tree for
Solaris. I'll use them to test my changes to the beta 7 rpc to be
compatible with OV's rpc.

Also, if you could, please send me the RPC functional specs, which
when I left OV were in /afs/gza.com/product/secure/specs/rpc, I
think. We have all the admin system specs here, but not the RPC, and
since I am creating a new GSS-RPC protocol version I'd like to add it
to the spec (and include it in the public release).

Thanks!

Barry

Fixed, and verified against OV's RPC test client and server
(Authenticate 1.3). Files:

Mike,

What Ted told you on the phone earlier is correct. The mechanism oid
for gss-api krb5 changed during the development of beta 7. I did not
catch the incompatibility problem because I tested kadm5/OV
compatibility before the oid change was introduced into the source
tree.

As Ted explained, new servers can handle old clients, but old gss-api
servers cannot automatically support new clients, which is what you
discovered. However, because of the versioning support in the RPC
layer, KADM5 and Authenticate can remain fully compatible. I will add
versioning support the RPC library in the MIT tree to support it.
I'll send you a patch to the beta 7 RPC library when it is done so you
can test it.

Barry
