ClearCase support for Kerberos authentication with Samba

Question & Answer


Question

Is Kerberos a supported authentication for Samba when using IBM Rational ClearCase?

Answer

Yes. Support for Kerberos was added in ClearCase versions 7.0.1.5 and 7.1.0.2 and later for SAMBA versions 3.0.32 and 3.2.7.

Refer to the following system requirements technotes for further details regarding supported SMB server products:

Technote 1302974 System requirements for ClearCase 7.1

Technote 1239315 System requirements for ClearCase 7.0.x.x



Note: ADS is supported when using a Windows Domain Controller. Using a SAMBA server as a domain controller is not supported.

Review the ClearCase and Samba: A Supported Configuration white paper which contains full details about supported configurations with Samba.
