To set up the Kerberos SSO single domain environment, install Power Center and configure the Web browser.
Installing Power Center for Logging on with SSO
When installing Power Center:
1. Set up a Realm Name. You must enter a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Realm—for example,
dcm.dell.com.
2. Set up Microsoft Active Directory (AD) domain controller addresses—for example, 192.168.0.250. Separate multiple
addresses with a comma.
3. Specify a domain user for dcm.dell.com as Power Center server’s domain account for Kerberos SSO—for example,
"Tom" and Tom’s password. The user account you specify must be an existing and valid domain user account.
Configuring Web Browsers for Single Sign-On
To enable Kerberos Single Sign-on (SSO), you must configure your Web browser to support the feature. For more
information, see your Web browser Help. For a list of supported Web browsers, see System Requirements.
NOTE: To correctly set up Kerberos SSO, the date and time on all involved computers must be consistent and DNS
configuration must be correct.
To support SSO in Internet Explorer, you must add the Power Center server as a local Intranet site.
The following is an example of the configuration steps in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8:
1. Go to Internet Explorer 8 → Internet Options → Security → Local Intranet, and click Sites.
The Local Intranet window opens.
2. Click Advanced.
3. Add your Power Center site into Local Intranet—for example, server1.dcm.dell.com .
Multiple Domain Environment
You set up a multiple domain environment with the following components:
• Domain Controller — There can be several Windows Active Directory (AD) domain controllers; for example, a
parent domain and the child domains.
• Power Center Server — This is the server with Power Center installed. It is an AD domain controller.
• Power Center Client — The client server connects to the network of the Power Center server.
