T To Configure a Kerberos Authentication
Server
Perform this procedure to configure an authentication server when the
OnBoard or any of its connected devices is to use the Kerberos authentication
method or any of its variations (Kerberos, Local/Kerberos, Kerberos/Local, or
Kerberos Down/Local).
Before starting this procedure, gather the following information from the
Kerberos server’s administrator:
• Kerberos Server IP address
• Kerberos Realm Domain Name
Also, work with the Kerberos server’s administrator to ensure that following
types of accounts are set up on the Kerberos server and that the administrators
of the OnBoard and connected devices know the passwords assigned to the
accounts:
• An account for “admin” or other administrative user.
• If Kerberos authentication is specified for the OnBoard, accounts for all
users who need to log into the OnBoard to administer connected devices.
• If Kerberos authentication is specified for devices, accounts for users who
need access to connected devices
