# RequireGSSAuth

Set `RequireGSSAuth` to `True` to enable GSSAPI authentication mode on the Confluence REST Connector service port. In this mode, all connections to the service 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 Confluence REST 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, Confluence REST Connector does not start.
