Enabling Kerberos authentication

Before you begin, make sure that:

• Groups and users for MVE are set up in the Active Directory server. For more information, contact your system administrator.

• You have a keytab file that contains the MVE user credentials and an encrypted key. You can use the Ktpass tool to generate a keytab file. For more information, see the online references for Microsoft.

1. From the Header area, click > LDAP > Enable LDAP for Authentication.

2. From the Binding Information section, select Kerberos > Enable Kerberos Authentication.

3. Configure the following:

   • Service Principal Name—Type the service principal name for the MVE server.

   • Keytab—Browse to the keytab file.

4. Configure the Role Mapping settings. For more information, see step 5 of Enabling LDAP server authentication.

   Note: Make sure that the specified MVE roles match the existing groups set up in the Active Directory server.

5. Click Apply > Close.
