Configuring Kerberos

Use Kerberos if you want extra security with remote authentication.
Make sure that both the library and the Kerberos/Active Directory ® server are set to the same time (within 5 minutes).
Otherwise, the authentication will fail. It is recommended that you use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to synchronize the time
between the library and the Kerberos server. See

Realm — The Kerberos realm name, typed in all uppercase letters. Usually the realm name is the DNS domain name.
Example: MYCOMPANY.COM
KDC (AD Server) — The key distribution center (in other words, the server on which Kerberos/Active Directory is
installed).
Example: mycompany.com:88
Domain Mapping — The domain portion of the library's fully qualified domain name.
Example: mycompany.com
Service Keytab — Click the Browse button to select the service keytab file. The service keytab file is a file you
