EasySoft SQL Server Driver for Linux

Please see the following page for details on how this driver is setup: Securing

Access to SQL Server from Linux with Kerberos

FreeTDS ODBC Driver for Linux

The FreeTDS ODBC driver can be built against the Kerberos libraries and provides

the same

Trusted_Connection keyword connection parameter as the MS SQL

Server Native Client. Provided you have Kerberos working on the system, you

simply have to replace the "

UID=…;PWD=…" part of your connection string with

Trusted_Connection=yes" in order to use Kerberos authentication.

Kerberos on Linux

All of the above have some information about the setup of Kerberos on Linux. This

book chapter has all the information you need to complete the setup:

If you want to use an Active Directory, you will additionally have to use Samba to

integrate into the AD, hook winbind into PAM and have pam_winbind use

Kerberos authentication:

A user can then log in and authenticate against the AD and the Kerberos server

will provide the necessary credentials to the ODBC driver.
