{ dbeng12 | dbsrv12 } -kl GSS-API-library-file ...

All operating systems except Windows Mobile.

This option specifies the location and name of the Kerberos GSS-API. This option is only required if the Kerberos client uses a different file name for the Kerberos GSS-API library than the default, or if there are multiple GSS-API libraries installed on the computer running the database server. A Kerberos client must already be installed and configured, and SSPI cannot be used by the database server.

Specifying this option enables Kerberos authentication to the database server.

• -kr dbeng12/dbsrv12 server option (deprecated)

• Kerberos (KRB) connection parameter

The following command starts a database server that uses the libgssapi_krb5.so shared object for Kerberos authentication.
