The InterfaceType class lists the encryption interfaces supported by TDGSS. The security mechanisms defined in the Mechanism Configurations section must use an encryption interface from this list.
Interface Type | Description |
---|---|
GSS | Standard interface for the UNIX operating system. |
SSPI | Standard Windows client interface. |
Teradata | Default Teradata interface. |
Custom | Reserved for future use. Allows for the creation and use of a custom security interface when the feature is implemented. |
Negotiate | The security mechanism is negotiated between the client and server. |
This list of supported encryption interface types only changes if you install a new release of TDGSS that supports a different set of interface types.
Supported interface types appear in the InterfaceTypes section of the TdgssLibraryConfigfile.xml in the following default form:
<InterfaceType> gss sspi teradata custom negotiate </InterfaceType>
