Setting Single Sign-On Authentication with Kerberos

Kerberos is an enterprise authentication protocol that uses the concept of tickets and three-way authentication to enable users and computers to identify themselves and secure access to resources.

Using Kerberos SSO, users can seamlessly log into Compose and administrators can completely externalize and centrally manage users or group memberships using their existing Kerberos infrastructure.

To set the authentication method to single sign-on with Kerberos, run:

ComposeCtl.exe configuration set --authentication_method sso-kerberos

To revert the authentication method to standard single sign-on, run:

ComposeCtl.exe configuration set --authentication_method sso

Information note

If the Kerberos protocol fails, Compose will try to log in using NTLM authentication. If NTLM authentication is not enabled in the system, an error will be returned.
