VB and Kerberos

I need VB code that will allow me to send a KINIT from a VB program, to any Kerberos Realm. This is a project for a highly technical person, and requires detailed knowledge of VB and creating sockets. I need to be able to put a clear-text username and password in, as well as the kerberos realm, and send the kerberos authentication packet. Once the packet is sent, and response is received from the kerberos server, I need to know if the username/password combo was successful. For this right person, this may be the tip of the iceberg in programming projects. I have a number of large projects that I'm working on, and will be looking for a reliable person for some of these projects. For information on Kerberos, please look at: Kerberos RFC <[login to view URL]> Kerberos for Windows (including SDK) <[login to view URL]> I need regular project updates, and continuing communications via some sort of IM (AIM, ICQ, MSN, etc). I already have a Kerberos Server in place that you will be able to test against. * * * 9/3/04 Just for clarification, this project is merely a client to authenticate against the kerberos server. I don't need a kerberos server, I need to be able to send a packet to an existing kerberos server, authenticate against it, and tell me whether the server accepts or rejects the username/password pair. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
