Centralized Management of Admin/Auditor Accounts Using Kerberos

In software version 3.x.x, each IPBS/IPBL had their own set of administrator/auditor accounts.

of user accounts for several IPBSs/IPBLs and then want to administrate these user accounts at
one central location (Kerberos server). When an IPBS/IPBL is setup as a Kerberos server the
IPBS/IPBL act as an authentication server for the rest of the IPBSs/IPBLs that are setup as
client devices in the installation. The Kerberos server and the group of client devices constitute
a domain called a realm. During Kerberos communication no password is actually sent over the
network. Kerberos uses encrypted data packets (tickets) which are time-stamped and expire
