SSO from Multiple Active Directories / LDAP Server using Kerberos Protocol

SSO from Multiple Active Directories / LDAP Server using Kerberos Protocol


Kerberos is an authentication protocol that supports the concept of Single Sign-On (SSO). It is a cryptography-based authentication protocol that is designed to provide secure authentication over an insecure network by allowing users to authenticate while preventing passwords from being sent over the internet. Kerberos mainly works on the basis of tickets between two or more different nodes in an insecure network. Once the user enters his LDAP/Active Directory credentials a ticket is generated which allows direct access to the user without needing to enter the credentials on next login (till the session expires).
