      Overridable method to get GSS accept credential suitable for the current environment. The default implementation uses a Kerberos key table.

      Throws:

    • validateInitialUser

      public boolean validateInitialUser(ServerSession session, String user)
      Validate the user name passed in the initial SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST message. This is sort of mandated by RFC 4462, but it may be more useful to wait for the GSS negotiation to complete. The default implementation here always succeeds.
      Parameters:
      session - The current session
      user - The user name from the initial request
      Returns:
      true if the user is valid, false if invalid
    • validateIdentity

      public boolean validateIdentity(ServerSession session, String identity)
      Validate the source identity obtained from the context after negotiation is complete. The default implementation here always succeeds.
      Parameters:
      session - The current session
      identity - The identity from the GSS context
      Returns:
      true if the identity is valid, false if invalid

      Parameters:
      servicePrincipalName - The principal name
    • setKeytabFile

      public void setKeytabFile(String keytabFile)
      Set the location of the Kerberos keytab. The default is defined by the JRE.
