What to do next
To authenticate VCM reports with Kerberos, see "Configure Kerberos Authentication" below.
Configure Kerberos Authentication
The Kerberos network protocol uses secret-key cryptography to ensure security in your VCM
applications. To authenticate VCM Reports, you must use Basic Authentication with HTTPS or Kerberos
Authentication.
When you configure Kerberos Authentication in your two-tier split installation, configure it on the
database server and the combined VCMCollector and Web server.
