Does SSO use Kerberos?

Kerberos is still the back-end technology. Kerberos excels at Single-Sign-On (SSO), which makes it much more usable in a modern internet based and connected workplace. With SSO you prove your identity once to Kerberos, and then Kerberos passes your TGT to other services or machines as proof of your identity.

Is Kerberos a SAML?

SAML is just a standard data format for exchanging authentication data securely using XML Schema, XML signature, XML encryption and SOAP. You would typically use it for a web SSO (single sign on). Kerberos requires that the user it is authenticating is in the kerberos domain.

How SSO works with Kerberos?

Kerberos SSO works by having the first application to authenticate (typically a client login process) share the Ticket Granting Ticket it obtains with other applications.
