SSH.COM is one of the most trusted brands in cyber security. We help enterprises and agencies solve the security challenges of digital transformation with innovative access management solutions.
When both the client and server are located in the same Windows (NT or Active Directory) domain, it is possible to integrate Windows Domain logon to the SSH Tectia client/server solution. This means that when a user logs on to a Windows Domain, the user gets a "ticket" that can be used for authenticating the user to SSH Tectia Server. The authentication procedure is then non-interactive; the user is not prompted to enter a password when SSH Tectia Connector or Client connects to SSH Tectia Server with Tunneling Expansion Pack.
GSSAPI authentication can also be used in a mixed Windows/Unix environment. On Unix, GSSAPI interoperates with standard Kerberos implementations that provide a GSSAPI mechanism.
Active Directory/Kerberos is used in the Windows 2000/2003 Domains.
