Sam,

I was thinking an intermediate node resending a number KRB-CRED messages could substitute previously received KRB-CRED messages. 

Eg. 
   Node receives Joe's credentials and forwards Joe's credential.
   Node receives Jill's credentials and forwards Joe's credential.
Whatever action Jill credentials where be used to perform now would be performed as Joe.

Warren may have other thoughts on this.

-Russ

Hi.
I have one question about the. changes in the last rev.
Why exactly do we need end-to-end security?
Why would some protocol that provided sufficient hop-by-hop security,
for example an AAA transport with confidentiality and
draft-ietf-abfab-aaa-saml transporting a krb-cred message?
