Krb5ConfWriter is a simple yet powerful tool that makes the creation of Kerberos configuration file (krb5.conf/krb5.ini) an easy and error-free process. It enables you to create a working Kerberos configuration file with only a few mouse clicks.

Features: Kerberos is a computer network authentication protocol. It allows nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity to one another in a secure manner. It is also a suite of free software published by MIT that implements this protocol. Its designers aimed primarily at a client server model, and it provides mutual authentication, both the user and the server verify each other`s identity. Kerberos protocol messages are protected against eavesdropping and replay attacks. Kerberos builds on symmetric key cryptography and requires a trusted third party. Extensions to Kerberos can provide for the use of public key cryptography during certain phases of authentication.

Krb5ConfWriter is a simple yet powerful Windows tool that makes the creation of Kerberos configuration file (krb5.conf/krb5.ini) in an easy and error-free manner. It only takes a few mouse clicks to generate a working Kerberos configuration file. You do not need to worry about the syntax and detailed domain information. Krb5ConWriter is able to detect all the domains automatically. It then retrieves the key distribution centers for each domain. Shortest CAPATHS are constructed by using the domain trust information. It has an intuitive interface that lest you specify default realms, encryption types and so on.

Overall: An application for a very niche purpose. Do not fiddle with it unless you understand the implications.
