Kerberos Authentication
Kerberos is a different form of 128-bit data security. An adapter is required to
have its request for access point resources authenticated with a Kerberos
server before the server permits the access point to transmit and receive
data with the associated adapter. When Kerberos is selected, the KDC and
Realm entry fields appear. The KDC field should remain with the default KDC
name (krbtgt) unless it is changed in the server. Enter the name of the server
that hosts the Kerberos KDC in the Realm field. The KDC is located on a
server and maintains information about the access points and users it
supports. The KDC also permits the transmission and receipt of data once
the credentials of the user are verified.
Tap Kerberos Options to configure different caching modes for Kerberos
credentials. When connecting to a Kerberos supported profile, the system
can prompt for the associated user name and password at specified
instances during the authentication process. Caching of credentials is
optional.
