Authentication Description
Kerberos
(see Figure B-4 )
Kerberos is a different form of 128-bit data security. An adapter is required
to have its request for access point resources authenticated with a Kerberos
server before the server permits the access point to transmit and receive
data with the associated adapter. When Kerberos is selected, the
KDC
and
Realm
entry fields appear. The
KDC
field should remain with the default
KDC name (krbtgt) unless it is changed in the server. Enter the name of the
server that hosts the Kerberos KDC in the
Realm
field. The KDC is located
on a server and maintains information about the access points and users it
supports. The KDC also permits the transmission and receipt of data once
the credentials of the user are verified.
Tap Kerberos Options to configure different caching modes for Kerberos
credentials. When connecting to a Kerberos supported profile, the system
can prompt for the associated user name and password at specified
instances during the authentication process. Caching of credentials is
optional.
Kerberos Options:
Select any combination of the following Kerberos Credential Caching
settings:
•
Reset
: When selected, the system prompts the user for the
username and password upon a warm boot.
•
Connect
: When selected, the system prompts the user for login
information when the system initiates a connection to the ESSID.
•
Time
: When selected, the system requests a user name and
password after the specified time parameter. Available time
parameters are specified as an
Interval
(in minutes) or
At (hh:mm)
a
specified time (chosen with the pull-down menu). If a time option is
not selected, authentication continues without a user name and
password verification.
•
Resume
: When enabled, the system prompts the user for username
and password after the system is suspended and subsequently
resumed. If disabled, the system prompts for a username and
password only if the user's credentials are not in the registry.
