IDE with remote build feature that is compatible with MIT Kerberos


I'm using cluster resources from my academic provider (PDC, Sweden) that uses the MIT-Kerberos authentication protocol for the users to sign in securely.

I'm also using Netbeans to develop C and Fortran code. Netbeans has a feature that lets you build your code on a remote host while you are working on your localhost/Desktop machine. Naturally, this feature requires you to log into your remotehost.

Since Netbeans is using its own SSH client, I cannot connect to the above mentioned remotehost even if I have a valid Kerberos ticket. I have googled this issue, but couldn't find anything related to it.

Has anybody else had a similar issue? Does anybody know of an IDE for C/Fortran that has a build on remotehost feature and is capable of using the Kerberos protocol?


Solution

  • Eclipse with the Photran plugin are commonly mentioned. I never used it myself, but Eclipse should also support authentication via Kerberos.
