back ends. We would like to avoid using Kerberos if at all possible
being as we do not have an existing Kerberos installation. What
authentication methods would be best suited for this environment?
Kerberos is best suited to this enviornment. Seriously, it's deseigned to
let services authenticate to eachother. The murder has also been
extensively tested in a Kerberos enviornment, and testing in other
enviornments has been incidental at best.
Failing that, DIGEST-MD5 or PLAIN+TLS (in Cyrus 2.2) are your best bets.
Since we are in a sealed environment, we would like to try using
DIGEST-MD5 (at least for testing). It would be very much appreciated
if someone would share their configuration files with us. Thanks in
advance.
