# GSSServiceName

The GSSAPI service name of the Distributed Connector. Specify only the service name part. You do not need to specify the fully qualified domain name.

Set this parameter if the Distributed Connector has been configured to require Kerberos authentication. The value should match the service name part of the `GSSServiceName` parameter in the `[Server]` section of the Distributed Connector configuration file.

IMPORTANT: If you set `GSSServiceName`, you must set HostN to a fully qualified domain name (for GSS authentication you cannot use `localhost`, an IP address, or a host without the domain name, even if these values resolve to the correct server).
