Kerberos Authorization Procedure
When a user wants to authenticate to a service in a Kerberos realm, a series of steps must be taken to
perform the authentication. The client (the user’s machine) must obtain credentials from the Kerberos servers,
which are the Authentication Server (AS) and the Ticket Granting Server (TGS) .
The AS and the TGS reside on the same machine and are referred to as the Key Distribution Center (KDC) .
The following outlines the process when a user accesses secure services in a Kerberos realm.
The process only occurs when the user initially logs in to a Kerberos realm and tries to perform the first access
to a Kerberos-secured service.
