The MutualAuthentication property tells the client whether to request that the server authenticate itself to the client. You can use mutual authentication to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks, which could allow the attacker to divert a network transmission to an unauthenticated third party.
Valid Settings
Setting | Description |
---|---|
yes (default) | The mechanism supports mutual authentication. |
no | The mechanism does not support mutual authentication. |
Editing Guidelines
- Edit this property on Vantage clients.
- You must set MutualAuthentication to yes for KRB5 or SPNEGO.
- If you edit the preset value of this property on a mechanism that does not currently support it, TDGSS ignores the edit.
- Do not modify the TDNEGO setting for this property.
