Support gssapi-with-mic authentication to use kerberos credentials
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: SSHD-111
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-111
Project: MINA SSHD
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.5.0
Reporter: Richard Evans
Priority: Minor
Attachments: gss.patch
I recently raised a couple of improvements which duplicated existing issues and
which were fixed in HEAD. Hope this one is not.
I've made some changes to support gssapi-with-mic authentication allowing
access to the server without entering a password if in a Kerberos environment.
This is beneficial for us because we embed sshd in an application which already
provides single sign on using GSSAPI in Unix and Windows.
A patch is attached. The core of the code is in UserAuthGSS; the
GSSAuthenticator class is provided to allow parts of the process to be
overridden for different environments - for example using a native implemention
of GSSManager on Windows to provide easy integration with AD.
