Mac OS X Kerberos Extras Installer Customization Requirements & Tips

Overview

In general, you may modify the Mac OS X Kerberos Extras Installer source to suit the needs of your site. The binaries are provided in the layout the installer expects; all you need to do is replace the edu.mit.Kerberos file (and possibly the Read Me file) and rebuild the installer! However, there are a few elements which all installers must contain, and we have a few tips on customizing.

Requirements

• Your installer must display the "Kerberos License" file on startup (this file is included with the distribution).
• You should not change the install locations of Kerberos for Macintosh files, simply because Kerberos for Macintosh will probably stop working if the files are installed in different locations.
• The MIT KfM OS X Extras Read Me is provided as a guideline for creating your own read me. If you use a modified form of the Read Me, be sure to remove all references to MIT support addresses - MIT's HelpDesk does not provide support for Kerberos users outside of the MIT community.

Tips

• Don't forget to update the edu.mit.Kerberos file with appropriate realm configuration for your site before building the installer! For details about how to do this, see the Kerberos Preferences on Mac OS X Documentation.
• Place your edited edu.mit.Kerberos file in BinariesForInstaller , replacing the MIT one that is provided as an example.
