Installation

Prerequisites

Mac

Kerberos headers are shipped with Mac OS X.

Linux

You'll need to install the Kerberos 5 development headers package. It may be called krb5-dev or libkrb5-dev.

Windows

You'll need to install MIT Kerberos for Windows (with SDK option checked).

This module depends on node-krb5, so installation instructions for that module should be taken into account. On Windows you must set the environment variable MITKRB5 to the MIT Kerberos home.

set MITKRB5=C:\Program Files\MIT\Kerberos

Install

npm install lets-chat-ldap
npm install lets-chat-kerberos
