Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses secret key cryptography so that a client can prove its identity to a server across a network connection. User credentials are obtained when the user logs in to the operating system, or by executing an authentication program. These credentials are then used by each application to perform authentication. Users only have to log in once, instead of having to log in to each application.
Adaptive Server 12.5.2 supports Kerberos through:
CyberSafe Kerberos libraries on the following platforms:
Sun Solaris 32-bit
Sun Solaris 64-bit (new to Adaptive Server version 12.5.2)
Windows
AIX 32-bit
MIT Kerberos libraries version 1.3.1 on the following platforms (new to Adaptive Server version 12.5.2):
Sun Solaris 32-bit
Sun Solaris 64-bit
Linux 32-bit
Native libraries on the following platforms (new to Adaptive Server version 12.5.2):
Sun Solaris 32-bit
