Kerberos Authentication Session Mode Fails
When you use Kerberos authentication with Shared Session or Session per User, adding the PowerShell host
might fail.

When you attempt to add a PowerShell host to the plug-in's inventory using Shared Session or Session per
User, the workflow fails, and the following error appears.

The default realm is not specified in the Kerberos configuration file krb5.conf neither provided as a part of
the user name.
Solution
Provide a default realm in your Kerberos configuration file or specify the realm in your user name when
authenticating Kerberos.
