RE: GSS-API Documentation and help

[Tadoori (EXT), Vilas]

Few questions

1)What are the logical services of GSS-API?

2) Is it possible via GSS-API for an applciation server to "cache" a
public key for a Ticket granting authority and conduct "is authentic"
checks on native authorization tickets it receives?

GNU GSS is currently only distributed as a source code package, so there
are no binary Windows packages available.  You should be able to build
it yourself using MinGW though.  I provide Windows packages for GnuTLS
and GSASL, and you may find the makefile to build those helpful when
trying to build GSS for Windows as well: see
