# Welcome to the Network Identity Manager

The Network Identity Manager (or NetIDMgr for short) allows you to manage your network identities and the associated credentials (Kerberos tickets, AFS tokens, etc.).

NetIDMgr is extensible using plugins. In fact, most of the features are implemented in plugins, some of which are themselves extensible. Support for additional protocols and credential types can be added by installing the appropriate plugins.

This version is distributed as a part of the MIT Kerberos for Windows product along with the Kerberos 5 and Kerberos 4 plugins. The OpenAFS plugin, which is required for supporting AFS tokens, is distributed separately.

### Information for developers

If you are interested in developing plugins or extending the features of NetIDMgr, your first stop should be the NetIDMgr SDK. This is included in the Kerberos for Windows SDK, which itself is a part of the Kerberos for Windows distribution.

We highly recommend interested developers to contact the netidmgr@secure-endpoints.com mailing list.
