Hi folks,
Has anyone done a setup where Remedy users are authenticated directly by
Kerberos, without having LDAP in the middle?
I know Remedy talking to LDAP talking to Kerberos has been done, but I've been
asked to take LDAP out of the picture.
Integration guide (looked at v 7.5) does mention Kerberos, in the same sentence
as LDAP, but I haven't found much info on how to do this with Kerberos. I have
ARS 6.3, by the way, but I can go to a higher version.
With Kerberos APIs and Remedy's AREA APIs it should be doable. Both client and
server side code will be needed, because the way Remedy's authentication is
architected, the client can't vouch for the ID of the user; that's done by the
AREA plugin at the server side, so it seems that on the client side the
authentication should happen and the resulting "ticket" is what's passed to
AREA plugin, which is then what gets verified there.
Thanks in advance.
