1.7 Versioning and Capability Negotiation

  • Article

Versioning and capability negotiation are supported in the CredSSP Protocol as follows:

  • Protocol versions: The CredSSP Protocol supports versioning (the version field of the TSRequest structure, section 2.2.1).

  • Security and authentication methods: The CredSSP Protocol uses the SPNEGO protocol to negotiate the underlying authentication mechanism. Similarly, the CredSSP Protocol relies on the TLS Protocol to negotiate the cryptographic algorithms that are used for channel confidentiality and integrity.

  • Localization: The CredSSP Protocol is not localization dependent.
