Hi,

We are trying to install and make yellow fin work for Kerberos and windows authentication,

and we are using these paramaters(;integratedSecurity=true;authenticationScheme=JavaKerberos) appended in the web.xml jdbc connection string wanted to know, if YF supports Kerberos

and can you help us list down the step involved in connecting to such a kind database.

Hi Srikanth,


Apologies for the delayed response on this.


It looks like you're simply updating the web.xml to add the kerberos authentication switch, which should work.

The error you're facing is pretty specific and returned by the driver itself, so the first thing we need to do is confirm that the connection details are correct. and that you're using the JTDS 3.0 (or later) driver.


1. Confirm the details are correct.

Use a 3rd party DB tool such as DB Visualizer or SQL Squirrel

Just use the connection wizard and use the same JDBC URL like in the web.xml

If this works, it should work in YF.


If the above doesn't work, ensure that you're using a DB driver that supports it:

JTDS 3.1 can be found here

Alternatively, you can also try with the Microsoft JDBC driver


The goal is to confirm you can get a successful connection outside of YF to identify where the issue lies.

Once you have done this, and still have troubles with YF, just let us know and we can look further into this.


Thanks,

David
