Hi! After looking arround for informations about cygwin supporting Windows SSPI interface I found various informations telling it does, but a lot of others stating it does not. Now I am a but confused. Does cygwin support SSPI directly? Does it support SSPI via external libraries -- some say I have to install heimdal (http://computing.help.inf.ed.ac.uk/kerberos-windows) for 64-bit Windows, then Identity-Manager from (https://www.secure-endpoints.com/netidmgr/v2//) to have ssh use Windows build in kerberos support.
With Identity-Manager I can now watch the tickets I have, but -- ssh from cygwin states it could not find any ticket connecting to an kerberos enabled ssh-server. From Linux this works seamlessly. On Windows I can connect, but I have to enter my password again :-( debug3: preferred gssapi-with-mic,publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_lookup gssapi-with-mic debug3: remaining preferred: publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled gssapi-with-mic debug1: Next authentication method: gssapi-with-mic debug1: Unspecified GSS failure.

SSH seems to use them, but do these libraries connect to SSPI or do they depend on some other infrastructure? If one could shed some light on this I'd be really happy! -- Thomas -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
