Centralized management of Administrator or Auditor Accounts using
Kerberos
In IPBS Edition 2, each IPBS had an independent set of administrator or auditor accounts.
IPBS/IPBL Edition 3 introduced Kerberos.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that is used when you want to have the same set
of user accounts for several IPBSs/IPBLs and then want to administer these user accounts from
one central location, that is, a Kerberos server.
When an IPBS/IPBL is set up as a Kerberos server, the IPBS/IPBL acts as an authentication
server for the rest of the IPBSs/IPBLs that are set up 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 after a certain period.
Therefore, getting the correct time across the system for which an NTP server must be used is
critical.
Note:
To configure additional administrator accounts on the IPBS, see

Setting up the Kerberos Server
