Integrate with Windows Domain Authentication

VShell can be integrated with Windows Active Directory domain authentication The process of verifying that an individual truly is who he or she claims to be. Supplying a password is a very common method of authentication. The most secure method of authentication supported in VShell is public-key authentication. Related glossary terms: identity file, public-private key pair by using the Generic Security Services Application Program Interface ( GSSAPI Generic Security Services Application Program Interface - A generic API for performing client/server authentication. ). For this to occur, the VShell server A computer program that provides services to other computer programs (called clients). Often the computer on which a server program runs is also called a server.

    Be a member of a Kerberos Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that provides strong authentication for client/server applications by using private-key cryptography. Kerberos is used by Windows 2000 domains. realm with cross-realm trust with the server's domain.

Once the above conditions are met, configure the client to use GSSAPI and the integration should take place.
