Authenticate Method

Authenticates the user.

Syntax

kerberoscontrol.Authenticate

Remarks

This method authenticates the User.

Authentication

When Authenticate is called the control will attempt to authenticate the user with the Key Distribution Center (KDC). The control will communicate with the KDCHost to obtain a service ticket and populate AuthToken. The following properties are required when calling this method:

SPN (required)
User (required)
Password (required)
KDCHost (required)

A typical sequence of messages would be:

KRB_AS_REQ -> KDC
KRB_AS_REP <- KDC
KRB_TGS_REQ -> KDC
KRB_TGS_REP <- KDC
AuthToken is populated with the constructed KRB_AP_REP message.

Communication with the KDCHost can be seen through the PITrail event.
