Overview
Kerberos is an authentication protocol that uses symmetric encryption and a trusted third party system to validate the identity of clients. The Kerberos protocol provides authentication over open and insecure networks in which communication between the hosts can be intercepted.
You can use Integration Server to enable and configure Kerberos authentication for service requests. Integration Server provides support for using Kerberos authentication with the following types of requests:
Inbound and outbound HTTP and HTTPs requests at the transport level.
Inbound and outbound HTTPS web service requests.
Note: Integration Server currently supports Kerberos authentication for outbound web service requests of transportType HTTPS only.
