Building a unified name space is critical to our security strategy. We want to ensure that each individual is identified uniquely in the population. We have architected a name space that represents the majority of the university population and have stored these principals in a Kerberos V5 system. Note that since we did not have an existing Kerberos V4 infrastructure, we were able to avoid many of the migration issues facing most K4 sites.
