Kerberos Authentication

Before you configure DSS for Kerberos authentication with Sybase ASE, refer to the Sybase ASE documentation for information about how to configure Kerberos for Sybase ASE.

DSS supports two ways for Kerberos authentication:

Accessing the kerberized Sybase ASE server with the User and Key Tab parameters supplied. In this case, DSS will run kinit to authenticate itself. To use a keytab file with DSS, enter the details in the User and Key Tab fields of the Location Connection dialog.

Additionally, the following action must be defined for a Sybase ASE location:

Group Table Action Parameter(s)

Sybase ASE * Environment Name=KRB5_CONFIG Value=full path to the krb5.conf file
Accessing the kerberized Sybase ASE server without supplying the User and Key Tab parameters. In this case, the DSS Agent Listener (in case of a remote DSS Agent connecting to Sybase ASE) or the Scheduler (in case of a local DSS connecting to Sybase ASE) should be started from an already Kerberos-authenticated environment.
