Kerberos and the single-sign-on feature

Niagara supports Kerberos authentication when logging in to a station. Kerberos is a widely used authentication protocol that helps to keep your credentials and station safe.

SSO (Single Sign On) is an access control feature of Kerberos that allows the automatic logging in to multiple related, but independent software systems. When you use a browser to log in with LDAP and Kerberos, you provide a single set of credentials and receive a ticket, which allows you to automatically gain access to all networked stations. SSO also makes it possible to log in to individual stations without being prompted for user name or password each time.
