It's used in research computing environments. My university used to to authenticate to the general access clusters, and a you'll find references to its use in government labs if you dig in their support pages. Additionally, if AFS [0] is being used, it's a safe bet that Kerberos is also present.

- jsiepkes 9y agoWhen AFS was created the Kerberos spec wasn't final yet. So they use something similar called a PAG (instead of a ticket). You need a special tool to convert your Kerberos ticket to an AFS PAG. Real support for Kerberos V is something that's on the wishlist for quite some time.
