# RequireGSSAuth

Set `RequireGSSAuth` to `True` to enable GSSAPI authentication mode on the Amazon S3 Connector ACI port. In this mode, all connections to the ACI port must be authenticated using GSSAPI and the Negotiate HTTP authentication mechanism.

To use GSSAPI authentication, you must also set GSSServiceName, to define the GSSAPI service name that Amazon S3 Connector must use to identify itself.

NOTE: This method provides an authentication requirement only. Micro Focus recommends that you use it in conjunction with TLS/SSL to encrypt the authentication data.

You cannot use `RequireGSSAuth` with GSS ACI encryption (see ACI Encryption Configuration Parameters). If you configure both, Amazon S3 Connector does not start. GSS ACI encryption has been deprecated or Amazon S3 Connector version 12.6.0 and later.
