Looks like the official Kerberos support for DFS will be out in the D6.6 release; the code we presented at EMC was very basic and I’d wait for the official code to come out. If anyone needs any of the code from the session, just ping me at mohen_michael@emc.com.

See you in Boston!

Regards,

Mike

Lucky day, I found the code for Kerberos on DFS. I threw it on box.net. It is 18MB, but you can grab the zip file.

Also, Kerberos support is not here yet for DFS. Also, in the near future we plan to support Kerberos with DFS.

I looked at the Content Server release notes for 6.5SP3 that came out this week, but it didn’t mention Kerberos support.
Therefore I am assuming that the rumours are true that official Kerberos support should be in the Documentum 6.6 release later this year.

I hope you can wait that long.

At this point, I think the Kerberos code is in the actual releases.

I’m looking for the Kerberos code. I could host it on my own blog/server if you are looking for space. Any change you could help me out here?

They keep deleting it. Mike has been trying to find a more permanent space for it.

Raoul is partially correct. Kerberos is not supported, but it is coming this year, in theory, and there was a pre-release version shared by Michael. I can only find the “KerberosOnDFS.rar” file. It is 36MB in size, so I can’t just randomly throw it out there.

Hi Sander,

Documentum does not provide a Kerberos authentication plug-in.
The code provided on the FTP site enables kerberos authentication between a DFS client and DFS server. That’s all.
Then they use (as always) a superuser to generate a documentum ticket to authenticate to Documentum server. It’s ugly, isn’t it!
If you want real Kerberos SSO (end to end), check this out:

Hi Pie,

I was wondering if you’ve heard anything from Micheal Mohen.
I still haven’t seen any code in the FTP link you gave.
I the mean time I figured out some of the SSO stuff myself, but I am really looking for a Kerberos authentication plug-in for the Content Server. I hope that is in the pre-release code…

I have reached out to Michael Mohen to see what can be done.

damn, the code is gone!

Just when I am getting ready for a Kerberos SSO implementation.
Any help on getting that pre-release code?
The ftp link just shows me an empty directory…

Thanks,

Sander

Hi,
I guess, code and other documents has been removed. Can you please upload?

Thanks
