Connection with Kerberos ﾠﾠﾠﾠ

Xftp 6 supports MIT GSSAPI Kerberos and Microsoft's SSPI Kerberos authentication. This article assumes that you have a working Kerberos server and client.

To creat a new Kerberos session

1. Select [New] from the [File] menu
2. Enter a session name in [Name].
3. Select SFTP from the [Protocols] list.
4. Select GSSAPI from the [Method] list in the Login section.
   • Note
     If the PC running Xftp is utilizing an Xftp supported Kerberos module, Xftp can only automatically authenticate to the SFTP server if GSSAPI authentication is selected.
5. To change the GSSAPI settings, click the [Setup] button to open the 'Setup GSSAPI' dialog box.
   • Note
     To connect to another server using Kerberos authentication from a server using Kerberos authentication, select the 'Allow GSSAPI credential delegation' option.
6. Click [OK] to save the GSSAPI settings .
7. Enter the user name.
8. Click [OK] to save the session file.
9. Click [Connect] to connect immediately or select the session file from the Sessions Dialog Box to connect.

You have finished creating a session that will use the Kerberos module. When this session opens, it will try to use the Kerberos credential for the specified user. It has to be the same user you defined in the Network Identity Manager.
