EcoStruxure DCE backup - Kerberos?

[olivieri]

Hello. Currently EcoStruxure DCE backup session only allows NTLM protocol, when authenticating to a Windows Share. Latest security baselines are recommending to stop using NTLM, and rely in Kerberos only.

Is there any plan to add Kerberos into EcoStruxure DCE? Or workaround, so we could use a remote Windows Share without NTLM? Thanks.

Hello @olivieri,

I'll pass along your request to product management, but as you are currently aware NTLM options are the current authentication mechanism for Windows Share connections.

As a side note, in DCE 9.2 backups now require a password that is user configuring: http://community.se.com/t5/Data-Center-Expert-release-notes/Data-Center-Expert-9-2-0-release-notes/t...
