Authentication Security

[khansen97]

Hi there. I am trying to setup security for our BO 6.1 implementation. We have a firm standard to use a Kerberos authentication. We would like to use the NT authentication for full client users, but for the web, we would like to setup an API to check user ids and passwords against the Kerberos system. The reason for this is they want users to reenter their user names and passwords when they are on the web.

They will not let us setup a load to grab the information from Kerberos, so I need to setup a connection to check the username and password entered against the Kerberos.

Or can I force them to re-enter thier information and have it setup to check against the NT authentication. The only thing I found is that I can setup NT, but users will not have to re-enter thier user information.

Does anybody know how to do this? Can it be done?

thanks

If there is a Kerberos api for java/asp it can be done for shure.

Stick to your guns

pabloj is right. If it can be done, it will have to be via the SDK. Kerberos is not natively supported by BO. Unless Kerberos becomes a real LDAP provider, then it's unlikely it will ever be supported.
