authenticate users with certificate and Kerberos?

i'm trying to authenticate users into a Kerberos realm with Java. I've already done the authentication with de Krb5LoginModule, and the users are correctly conn开发者_运维问答ected to the server with the Kerberos protocol.

Now i want to know if it's possible to athenticate users with a certificate, instead of using the Login+Password, in Kerberos, or ther is any other way to use a client certificate authentication with the Kerberos protocol?

thank you.

I don't know if you follow this thread, but the question you posed is a really interesting and doable. What you want to do is called Kerberos Single Sign-On authentication and can be done through JAAS (which is what you use now, I assume) and JGSS. You can check out this introduction from Oracle for Kerberos SSO. In general, setting up Kerberos SSO is a tedious task, but 100% doable. Let me know if you are interested and I could give you more information/guide you through the process of creating the certificates etc.
