Hi, Freddie.


There is interest in adapting Java/JDBC to use FreeTDS' ODBC driver.

You may recall I worked with you on a patch to include the Kerberos realm component for ct 
library.  The "realm" configuration parameter is providing good results.


Given  Service Principal Name ("SPN") of the form :  
MSSQLSvc/host.example.org:port@REALM

freetds.conf:

[testserver]
        host = host.example.org
        port = port
        realm = REALM


How can the FreeTDS ODBC driver include the realm so that Kerberos authentication between 
realms with transitive trust will work using FreeTDS' ODBC driver?


Thanks
