Hi there,

have you tried ldd to check out the dependencies of the php4 module ? Is the
cerberos library mentioned there ? Is the php4 module the apache uses  
the same that you compiled ? These are questions i would ask to fix  
the problem.

some years ago i compiled that cerberos module for php4. i had to  
realize that that module was only misleadingly called a cerberos  
module. It only tried to authenticate letting the cerberos server  
check the login/password credentials and recieving true or false. But  
unfortunatly it was not able to store the tickets afterwards. So it  
would be only suitable for authentication and than you would have to  
store the login/password credentials in the session as usual. Horde  
would not be able to store the ticket instead in the session by using  
that php module.

Maybe i'm wrong - maybe the module was enhanced in the meantime. I  
noticed the development stopped 2001 appr.

We would have great demand for such a module here too. Our  
authentication systems based upon cerberos.

mit freundlichem Gruß
