Description

Does the pass-through authentication feature (token pass-through - an SSO connection via studio, used to authenticate using pass-through authentication to a data source via Kerberos) dependent on the Kerberos ticket having the "forwardable" flag set?

Resolution

Yes, the token should be set to forwardable.

Prerequisites:

#1) Set the forwardable flag to true in krb5.ini file and
#2) Login to TDV Studio using SSO

Note : For pass-through, TDV only supports jgss pass-through and the server should use jgss.
