Kerberos-Enabled Client Packages
To truly use Kerberos as a cross-platform single-sign-on system, Kerberized client software has to be installed as well. A complimentary pair of client and server Kerberized applications must be matched to perform native Kerberos authentication.

This section describes some of the software packages available that provide client-side native Kerberos functionality.
