Description: PyKerberos Package
        ==================
        
        This Python package is a high-level wrapper for Kerberos (GSSAPI)
        operations.  The goal is to avoid having to build a module that wraps
        the entire Kerberos.framework, and instead offer a limited set of
        functions that do what is needed for client/server Kerberos
        authentication based on <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4559.txt>.
        
        Much of the C-code here is adapted from Apache's mod_auth_kerb-5.0rc7.
        
        
        Build
        =====
        
        In this directory, run:
        
          python setup.py build
        
        
        Testing
        =======
        
        You must have a valid Kerberos setup on the test machine and you
        should ensure that you have valid Kerberos tickets for any client
        authentication being done (run 'klist' on the command line).
        Additionally, for the server: it must have been configured as a valid
        Kerberos service with the Kerbersos server for its realm - this
        usually requires running kadmin on the server machine to add the
        principal and generate a keytab entry for it (run 'sudo klist -k' to
        see the currently available keytab entries).
        
        Make sure that PYTHONPATH includes the appropriate build/lib.xxxx
        directory.  Then run test.py with suitable command line arguments:
        
          python test.py -u userid -p password -s service
            
          -u
            user id for basic authenticate
          -p
            password for basic authenticate
          -s
            service principal for GSSAPI authentication (defaults to
            'http@host.example.com')
        
        
        IMPORTANT
        =========
        
        The checkPassword method provided by this library is meant only for testing purposes as it does
        not offer any protection against possible KDC spoofing. That method should not be used in any
        production code.
        
        
        Python APIs
        ===========
        
        See kerberos.py.
