License - :ref:`mitK5license`
Releases:
- Latest stable: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.11/
- Supported: http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.10/
- Release cycle: 9 -- 12 months
Supported platforms \/ OS distributions:

- BSD: NetBSD x86_64/x86
Crypto backends:
- builtin - MIT Kerberos native crypto library
- OpenSSL (1.0\+) - http://www.openssl.org
- NSS (3.12.9\+) - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss
Database backends: LDAP, DB2
krb4 support: Kerberos 5 release < 1.8
DES support: configurable (See :ref:`retiring-des`)
Interoperability
----------------
`Microsoft`
Starting from release 1.7:
* Follow client principal referrals in the client library when
obtaining initial tickets.
* KDC can issue realm referrals for service principals based on domain names.
* Extensions supporting DCE RPC, including three-leg GSS context setup
and unencapsulated GSS tokens inside SPNEGO.
* Microsoft GSS_WrapEX, implemented using the gss_iov API, which is
similar to the equivalent SSPI functionality. This is needed to
support some instances of DCE RPC.
* NTLM recognition support in GSS-API, to facilitate dropping in an
NTLM implementation for improved compatibility with older releases
of Microsoft Windows.
* KDC support for principal aliases, if the back end supports them.
Currently, only the LDAP back end supports aliases.
* Support Microsoft set/change password (:rfc:`3244`) protocol in
kadmind.
* Implement client and KDC support for GSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG, which
allows a GSS application to request credential delegation only if
permitted by KDC policy.
Starting from release 1.8:
* Microsoft Services for User (S4U) compatibility
`Heimdal`
* Support for reading Heimdal database starting from release 1.8
