Owner's Manual

NOTE: Kerberos SSO may not work if you launch Power Center services using an account other than Network

Service.

Single Domain Environment

You can set up a single domain environment with the following components:

• Domain Controller — AD server that supports the domain (parent and child)

• Power Center Server — Server with Power Center installed

• Power Center Client — Client server that connects to the Power Center server

Figure 2. Single Domain Environment

To set up the Kerberos SSO single domain environment, install Power Center for logging on with SSO and configure your

web browser for SSO.

Installing Power Center For Logging On With Single Sign-on

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 documentation. For a list of Power Center-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.
