Kerberos

Before you begin:

• A Kerberos system can be used to log into RStudio Connect by configuring RStudio Connect to use Linux PAM and configuring PAM on your server to use Kerberos.
• RStudio Connect does not support Kerberos SSO (Windows Integrated Auth/SPNEGO), though support for Kerberos authentication may be served via SAML or OIDC/OAuth2 Identity Providers, which are supported with SAML or OpenID Connect integrations.
• Using this integration, user authentication will be handled by Kerberos via PAM.
  • However, the group functionality is provided by RStudio Connect, and the groups will have no relation with Linux groups that may be provided by PAM.

The RStudio Connect Admin Guide provides configuration information and examples for Kerberos here.

Additionally, the full list of external authentication options that are available are provided in the RStudio Connect Authentication Overview.
