Kerberos Support

Introduction

Chapter 8180

Introduction

The Kerberos protocol is regulated by the IETF RFC 1510. Kerberos was

adopted by Microsoft for Windows 2000, and is the default

authentication protocol for Windows 2000 and 2003 domains (including

the Windows 2000 and XP clients that inhabit those domains). For the

HP CIFS Server, Kerberos authentication is limited exclusively to server

membership in a Windows 2000/2003 domain, and only when the HP

CIFS Server is conﬁgured with "security = ads".

This chapter provides a brief overview of Kerberos and a variety of

Kerberos conﬁguration information including conﬁguration detail which

can be used when HP CIFS Server co-exists with other HP-UX

applications that make use of the Kerberos security protocol. For basic

Windows 2000/2003 domain membership conﬁguration, see Chapter 5,

“Windows 2000/2003 Domains,” on page 101. For more detailed CIFS

related Kerberos information, refer to the HP white paper HP CIFS

Server and Kerberos, at the following web site:
