Configuring Metability
Configuring Login and Authentication
Metability supports various methods for authenticating users against Rochade. When configuring the connection to the DI Server, the authType parameter specifies the authentication mode (that is, how the user identity gets from Metability to the server).
The table lists the valid values for the authType parameter.
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
|
classic |
Default. Displays a logon dialog for users to enter their user name and password. To know more, see Activating Classic Authentication. |
|
kerberos |
Uses Kerberos to authenticate the user who is currently logged on to the computer. To know more, see Activating Kerberos Authentication. |
|
trusted |
Trusts that the user who is currently logged on to the computer already has been authenticated and allows access to Rochade without requiring a login. To know more, see Activating Trusted Connections. |
Both Kerberos authentication and the trusted connection feature provide single sign-on (SSO) functionality for Metability (that is, the user who is currently logged on to the computer can access Metability without having to log in again).
