The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I'm working on some single sign-on stuff, for logging into an iSeries
using Kerberos. I have some Java code that uses jt400, which does all
the heavy lifting itself for the most part.
Trouble is, we develop our Windows stuff primarily with VB.Net, and we
use an IKVM wrapper around jt400 - actually very cool!
But that VM does not know how to retrieve the credentials from the
system. When I use the Kinit method in java, it creates the credentials
cache in a file on disk. Trouble is, I need to know the user's password
- I mean, I should not need to run Kinit anyhow - we've already signed
in to the Windows domain, and the ticket-granting ticket is already on
the system.
As I understand it, Windows stores the credentials cache in some
protected part of memory, not on disk. But there have to be ways to get
the contents of the cache into a variable, right?
So does anyone know a VB .Net method for retrieving this? Or, failing
that, which Windows API will do it?
And anyone who knows this - are you willing to share it here, or off-list?
Thanks
Vern
