Note:
If the Kerberos server you use is a Windows 2000 Server, you user must enter the
Kerberos Realm (in the Rights Manager Authentication page) in all uppercase. If the
case is lower or mixed, then the authentication will fail.
Step 2.
Enter the information requested.
Note:
When using Kerberos authentication, you must synchronize the time between the SMC
WLAN Secure Server and the Kerberos authentication server to within five minutes,
otherwise Kerberos authentication does not work properly.
A description of the Kerberos fields is given in
Table 6-4 Kerberos Authentication Options

Note:
The Kerberos protocol is designed to operate across organizational boundaries. Each
organization wishing to run a Kerberos server establishes its own realm. The name of
the realm in which a client is registered is part of the client's name, and can be used by
the end-service to decide whether to honor a request.
