| Name | Description |
| AUTH_SYS |
Authentication based on traditional UNIX identifiers (UID and GID).
Server trusts the IDs sent by the client for each request and uses them
to perform access control. Current implementation only supports
AUTH_SYS with root user.
|
| SEC_KRB5 |
Ensures RPC header authentication using Kerberos session keys. When
this option is enabled, the client uses the information specified in
UserInfo to establish shared keys with the server using
Kerberos. These shared keys are used to generate and verify message
authentication codes for RPC header of NFS requests and responses,
respectively. This method does not secure NFS file data.
|
| SEC_KRB5I |
Extends SEC_KRB5 to generate and verify message authentication codes
for the payload of NFS requests and responses respectively. This
ensures the integrity of the NFS file data.
Since vSphere API 6.5
