[Freeipa-devel] Freeipa and Kerberos

[Stoyan Gaydarov]

Hi my name is Stoyan and I am working on a project that involves python, 
xmlrpc, and Kerberos, similarly like Freeipa does, and i wanted to see 
if someone could help me in understanding how Freeipa does their 
authentication so that i can do something similar for our project. I 
have looked at the code and saw that the client side uses the xmlrpclib 
that is part of python and it extends the transport layer. This seems 
perfectly reasonable and i understand most of it. However the server 
side is a little more complex. I would like some help understanding what 
is going on. Currently I just use the SimpleXMLRPCServer that is part of 
python and I just extend it. I don't need the server do to anything 
special other then Kerberos authentication so it works well for me. Any 
information about how it works would be greatly appreciated.
