  • 1.  Kerberos authentication on ISAM 9.0

    Posted Thu September 03, 2020 05:56 AM
    Hi, community!
    If we have configured Kerberos authentication on ISAM 9.0, can I configure the ISAM so that if the Access manager account is blocked but Kerberos authentication is successful, WebSEAL processes the user's request and generates a session ?

    Hi Igor,

    If a user's Access Manager account is disabled (which is what I assume you mean by "blocked") then they will not be able to authenticate in any way.

    What is your use-case?  Perhaps there is another way it can be achieved.

    Hi Jon,
    We use two types of authentication simultaneously: Kerberos and forms. When a user blocks their account using the authentication form, they also cannot log in using the Kerberos Protocol, which will make it inconvenient for the user.

    What kind of blocking are you using?  Are you disabling the account completely or just adding a time delay?

    If you are disabling the account completely then perhaps you would have different behaviour if you just block for a limited time instead.
    If you are already using the timed block then I guess what you are attempting may not be possible.

    If the user enters the password incorrectly several times, we completely block it until manual intervention.
