HPC Pack 2019 API Authentication

Is there a way to enable NTLM/Kerberos authentication for the HPC Pack 2019 API or web portal? In HPC Pack 2016U3, the new /hpc API endpoint enabled NTLM passthrough auth. We couldn't use it because it was unstable. In 2019, it seems like this was removed and there is no way to configure anything other than basic. This requires users to save a credential for job submission, which is disruptive when users change passwords.

    Hi Casey, as far as I can tell, new api endpoint "/hpc" supports only Basic and Azure AD authentication since HPC Pack 2016U3 and later. However, this doesn't require a user to save his credential on HPC Pack head node for job submission. You can use job submission properties "UserName" and "Password" for that. See https://github.com/coin8086/hpcpack-samples/blob/master/Scheduler/REST/CSharpClient/Program.cs for an example.
