Thanks Vincent!

I saw that document. I thought that is to authenticate to the website and I was not sure if Kerberos authentication is supported for accessing via XWiki’s REST APIs as this document does not say that: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI.

Do you know if Kerberos authentication is supported for accessing via APIs?

See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XWikiRESTfulAPI#HAuthentic... So the answer is no, unless you authenticate first to XWiki and keep the cookies. Thanks -Vincent

Thanks,

Hi Amrita,

I looked at XWiki's RESTful API documentation which talks about two types of authentication: HTTP BASIC Auth and XWiki session.

Do you now if latest or future version of XWiki API can support Kerberos authentication?

A quick googling for “xwiki kerberos” gave me this link:

http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Authentication#HKerberos...

Does it help?

Thanks
