The AUTHENTICATION element

The AUTHENTICATION element in the Genero Application Server configuration file sets the authentication configuration for the Genero Application Server. Authentication allows you to run impersonated DVM through HTTP (where the DVM is started as the authenticated user). Authentication is currently supported by the Genero Desktop Client (GDC and GDCAX) and the Genero Web Client. Refer to the respective client manuals for client-specific authentication configuration.

Syntax

<AUTHENTICATION Type="authtype">
  <REALM>realm</REALM>
  <SERVICE_NAME>service</SERVICE_NAME>
  <KEYTAB>filename</KEYTAB>
</AUTHENTICATION>

Syntax notes

The AUTHENTICATION element takes an attribute of Type where authtype specifies the type of authentication. Only the Kerberos type is supported.

Child elements

The AUTHENTICATION element must contain the following child elements:

One REALM element.
One SERVICE_NAME element.
One KEYTAB element.

Example

<AUTHENTICATION Type="KERBEROS">
  <REALM></REALM>
  <SERVICE_NAME>gassvc</SERVICE_NAME>

</AUTHENTICATION>
