Server Authentication

Authentication is the process of reliably determining the identity of a communicating party. Identity can be proven by something you know (such as a password), something you have (such as a private key or token), or something intrinsic about you (such as a fingerprint).

Secure Shell connections require both server and client authentication.

Server authentication enables the client to confirm the identity of the server. Reflection for Secure IT Server for Windows supports these host authentication methods:

The server has only one chance to authenticate to the client during the authentication process. If this authentication fails, the connection fails.
