Connect to Gateway with GSSAPI key exchange
Answered
Is it possible to use GSSAPI key exchange for connecting to a Gateway backend server from Gateway client running on windows? If this is not possible as of now, are there any plans to make this work in the future?

There are no such plans, sorry. SSH remains the main connection method.
Are there any plans to allow gateway to use an external SSH application similar to VSCode remote extension?
So my understanding is that gateway uses an SSH client that is built into it. I am asking about the possibility of letting users specify a path to the SSH client that will be used. VSCode lets users set the property
remote.SSH.pathto specify the path of SSH client.Also no so far, sorry.
Apologies for resurrecting a 2 year old thread.
Is there any change in the plans to allow ssh authentication using GSSAPI?
Our organization is being mandated to use SSH only with GSSAPI authentication. EG ssh -K
Hello, Jholland.
As far as I understand, we plan to support GSSAPI authentication for SSH connection (not Gateway) once we switch our SSH client implementation to OpenSSH (which is planned to be implemented this year, but we can re-evaluate ETA). Most likely, SSH connection via Gateway will also support GSSAPI, but I can't guarantee it; also, there are additional improvements needed to allow reconnection to work properly with this authentication method. For now, we have no plans to do it.
Thank you for the update.
