Non-interactive authentication can only be used after an interactive authentication has taken place. During Non-interactive authentication, the user does not input logon data, instead, previously established credentials are used.Non-interactive authentication is performed when an application uses the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) and a security package to establish a secure network connection.
Non-interactive authentication is the Authentication Mechanism at work when a user connects to multiple machines on a network without having to re-enter Credentials for each machine.
Non-interactive Examples#
- Often this is when the Authentication entity did NOT typing the password at the keyboard.
- Non-interactive Authentication may be when the Credential is passed over the network
