(includes DFS manager)

- NetCrusader
Commander from Gradient Technologies (somewhat specialized for
their NetCrusader DCE-Web software implementation, but can be used
for simple user administration)

Information on Microsoft and DCE
- White
Paper on Microsoft NT's Distributed Security Services, which will
be based on Kerberos
Other Sites using DCE/DFS
DCE/DFS shareware tools
- nss_dce - a package that integrates DCE into the Solaris naming services
switch architecture. It allows you to specify "dce" as a source in the
/etc/nsswitch.conf file for passwd and group lookups, removing the need
to duplicate your security registry in local passwd and group files.
- aclmod - a utility to manipulate DFS ACLs. It's basically a replacement
for chmod in the DFS environment that supports extended ACL syntax and
permissions, as well as wildcards and recursion.
- DCE-Perl - which
allows you to directly access the DCE API from Perl
- Bruce Foster's account_export script for HP-UX with overrides for local
passwords (such as root)
- mod_auth_dce - which
is a DCE authentication module for the Apache web server. It allows you to
use the DCE security registry to authenticate users, and to serve the DFS
filesystem with complete respect for ACLs. It also allows you to write CGIs
that run with the DCE credentials of the browser, allowing for secure CGI
DCE administration.
- SSH Patch to add DCE password authentication support to ssh.
- IMAP Patch to add DCE password authentication support to IMAP.
- Several patches for programs to support DCE, including netatalk,
qpopper, and wuftpd.
- DCE_user_mover - a package to allow a valid AFS user to validate himself via
AFS and set his DCE password to the existing AFS password. Should
be able to be modified for an existing K4 setup as well.
- Modifications to
MIT Kerberos Release 5 1.0p1 for DFS (note the k5dce.970728.tar
file, specifically)
- LDAP Patches for DCE and
SSL (for umich v3.3 slapd source - includes pointer to that source)
- Kerberized
SAMBA with Win NT/95 client binaries
- dtlogin-dce: adds DCE authentication integration to the native
Solaris CDE login. It allows CDE to authenticate users via the DCE security registry, and attaches DCE credentials to the CDE login session, allowing access to
DFS.
