Configuring the Print Server for Kerberos
Authentication
1. Create a user in the Windows 2000 server that identifies the
Print Server.
NOTE: The user name should be the Print Server’s name. The
password selected will be used as the Kerberos password
and should be set with no expiration.
2. In a secure networked environment, log in as a root user via
Telnet in the wired LAN.
3. Once logged in, use the Telnet commands to set up the
wireless LAN parameters (e.g. SSID = 103, operating mode =
Infra Structure mode, etc.) that match the Access Point
configuration.
In addition to the normal wireless LAN parameter settings, use
the following commands to enable Kerberos on the wireless
LAN interface and Kerberos for authentication (minimum
settings):
4. Set the wireless LAN interface parameters to enable Kerberos.
store kerberos opts auth
5. Set the Kerberos parameters to enable Kerberos
authentication.
The Kerberos password must match the Windows 2000 user
password for the Print Server. The administrator should choose
at least 9 alphanumeric characters with a combination of upper
and lower case.
The following is a suggestion for creating strong password for
computer security. Make sure the password:
•
is at least seven characters long. The most secure
passwords are seven to 14 characters long.
•
contains characters from each of the following groups:
letters (uppercase and lowercase), numerals, and symbols (all
characters not defined as letters or numerals, i.e., ! @ # $ % ^
& *, etc.)
