I see kerberos is (briefly) mentioned in 'Learning eZ publish 3' as something "not yet available", is this under development? (when) will it be available?

Hi Erlend,
I'm not aware of any development, but would like to see it too. For the moment we use LDAP here.
Kerberos could best be supported bu a login handler that uses apache -> from there it is a matter of configuring apache. Single sign on would be even better (intranets), afaik there are some initiatives but did not look at them the past months.

Did a quick look again,
it appears to become feasible, but still needs "hard" work:

Is it possible to authenticate to eZ through .htaccess/http auth? I haven't found anything about this in the docs or forums.

.htaccess: this would mean that permissions are controlled outside ez publish, while it is possible to do something like that i would not recommend it
http auth: yes, it is possible, but you have to write a login handler for this. after this you can configure apache to do kerberos auth.
so there is some work involved ...
