CONFIG_MOD_AUTH_KERB
 Mod_auth_kerb is an Apache module designed to provide Kerberos 
 authentication to the Apache web server. Using the Basic Auth mechanism, 
 it retrieves a username/password pair from the browser and checks them 
 against a Kerberos server as set up by your particular organization. 
 The module also supports the Negotiate authentication method, which 
 performs full Kerberos authentication based on ticket exchanges, and does
 not require users to insert their passwords to the browser. In order to 
 use the Negotiate method you need a browser supporting it (currently 
 standard IE6.0 or Mozilla with the negotiateauth extension available
 at http://negotiateauth.mozdev.org/ ).

 The module supports both kerberos4 and kerberos5 protocols for password 
 verification. The Negotiate mechanism can be only used with Kerberos v5. 
 The module supports both 1.x and 2.x versions of Apache.

 If you are using the Basic Auth mechanism, the module does not do any 
 special encryption of any sort. The passing of the username and password 
 is done with the same Base64 encoding that Basic Auth uses. This can easily 
 be converted to plain text. To counter this, I would suggest also using 
 mod_ssl or Apache-SSL. The use of SSL encryption is also recommended if you
 are using the Negotiate method.
