Using Kerberos Authentication for a Server / Client Application

In C ++, I am trying to create a portable server running on Linux, as well as Windows and a client running on Windows that will use MS Active Directory for authentication. After some research, I decided that the best way is to use Kerberos. I decided to use the Kerberos v5 MIT library because of a BSD type license.

But my problem is that I completely cannot find a good resource for working in Kerberos in C ++. All the examples that I found are just simple code snippets that do not explain in sufficient detail which input parameters for functions and reference manuals (doxygen style) that briefly explain the function in question, but do not provide enough information to understand the context of where to use he.

In short, can you recommend a good resource for a C ++ programmer who two weeks ago did not even know what Kerberos is?

The best place to run is a simple client sample and a simple server in the distribution of MIT code.
