3 Select the Kerberos radio button.
The Kerberos Configuration field displays within the New Security Policy screen.

policy.
5 Set the Kerberos Configuration field as required to define the parameters of the Kerberos
authentication server and Altitude 35xx.
Realm Name Specify a realm name that is case-sensitive, for example,
extremenetworks.com. The realm name is the name
domain/realm name of the KDC Server. A realm name
functions similarly to a DNS domain name. In theory, the
realm name is arbitrary. However, in practice a Kerberos
realm is named by uppercasing the DNS domain name
that is associated with hosts in the realm.
