Kerberos Authentication
By Nuxeo
The Kerberos Authentication addon allows users to log in to the Nuxeo Platform by authenticating to a Kerberos server.
Usage
Once correctly installed, users can browse the Nuxeo Platform server without having to go through the usual login page of the Nuxeo Platform. The browser uses the Kerberos session of the user to authenticate to Nuxeo.
Installation
The Kerberos Authentication addon requires installation of the corresponding Nuxeo package with nuxeoctl or the update center. Then some new parameters have to be passed to the JVM that launches Nuxeo server, usually modifying environment variables, especially for updating default values of java.security and JAAS. Then the default authentication chain of the Nuxeo Platform has to be updated via an XML contribution in Nuxeo Studio or the configuration folder of the sever.
Configuration
Some configuration is required client side on the browser.
