Kerberos is a network authentication protocol designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications. Stanford services that require Kerberos authentication include Stanford OpenAFS.
Mac OS X 10.2 and higher contain built-in support for Kerberos. The Kerberos included with Mac OS X is actually a modified version of the MIT Kerberos 5 distribution. As a result, the best way to approach Kerberos client functionality in Mac OS X is to simply treat it as a special case of a generic MIT Kerberos client running Unix. However, there are a few quirks and some added functionality included with the Mac OS X implementation as compared to a stock MIT Kerberos 5 distribution.

First, while Kerberos is included with the base Mac OS X distribution, it is recommended that administrators install the MIT Kerberos Extras for Mac OS to add some of the functionality that was omitted from the Apple distribution ( -kerberos-extras.html). These Extras add support for Carbon-based applications that use the CFM Kerberos libraries, as well as placing an alias to the Kerberos graphical ticket utility included with Mac OS X into a more suitable location (namely, /Applications/Utilities).
The location of the configuration file is different than the traditional MIT file location. Instead of /etc/krb5.conf, the Kerberos configuration file is located in /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.kerberos, which follows more closely the naming conventions in Mac OS X. Unfortunately, there is currently no graphical utility included with Mac OS X to create or edit this file. Nonetheless, the contents of the file ...
Changing your password You can change your Kerberos password by using the Change Password... command. To change your password, Click on the boldfaced username line in the ticket list to select it. Result: The Change Password... button is activated:
Click on the Change Password... button or choose Change Password... from the Tickets menu. Result: The Kerberos Change Password dialog box appears with the name of the user selected previously at the top:
Enter the password you're using now in the "Enter your old password" box.
Click once in the "Enter your new password" box, or press the key, and type the new password.
Click once in the "Enter your new password again" box, or press the key, and type the new password a second time, exactly as you typed in the previous step.
Click on OK. Result: Either you will receive a confirmation that your password has been changed, if you entered either your old password incorrectly or the entries for the new password don't match exactly, you'll get an error. You may also receive an error from the Kerberos server if you try to choose an insecure password. This password stays in effect until you change it again using either the Kerberos application or the equivalent procedure on another Kerberos client on another platform.
Dock icon features The Kerberos application's dock icon has several features to help you quickly determine the status of the active user's tickets and to manage your Kerberos tickets.
If your Mac is a DHCP client, make sure it gets a stable hostname when connected. Go to System Preferences, click Network, choose each network interface in turn that you intend to use (probably just "Ethernet" and "Airport"or "Wi-Fi"). For each one, click Advanced, go to the TCP/IP tab, and fill in the "DHCP Client ID" box with just your hostname (not the fully qualified name). For example, let's suppose you've registered your Mac with the hostname fondulac. Just put fondulac in the box, even though your full domain name is fondulac.dhcp.fnal.gov. Log in to the Service Desk web portal and fill out the Access to Kerberized Machines form. Select Host Principals under Check Item(s) Needed to request a "host principal" and provide the fully qualified domain name (i.e., fondulac.dhcp.fnal.gov) in the provided box. Once you get an email back with an initial host principal password, you need to create a keytab file to hold the principal key but you will not be able to do this on your Mac because the Heimdal-based kadmin utility present on the Mac will not inter-operate with the kadmin server on the Master KDC. Instead you will have to log into a Linux system and create the keytab there and then securely transport the file back to your Mac where it will be stored as the file /etc/krb5.keytab (you can use the SSH file copy utility scp to accomplish this). On the Linux system, run this command:
This article describes some requirements for and nuances with using Kerberos single sign-on (SSO) with Tableau Server, depending on the particular Tableau client and operating system. Tableau clients covered in this article include common web browsers, Tableau Desktop, and the Tableau Mobile app.
This Python package is a high-level wrapper for Kerberos (GSSAPI)operations. The goal is to avoid having to build a module that wrapsthe entire Kerberos.framework, and instead offer a limited set offunctions that do what is needed for client/server Kerberosauthentication based on
This document describes the procedures required to configure a Macintosh OS as an IPA client. These instructions are specific to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). This version of the OS includes a partial install of the Kerberos tools you need by default, especially if you perform an upgrade from 10.1 or 10.2.
Update all devices that host the Active Directory domain controller role by installing the November 9, 2021 security update and the November 14, 2021 out-of-band (OOB) update. Find the OOB KB number for your specific OS below.
After installing the November 9, 2021 security update and the November 14, 2021 OOB update on all Active Directory domain controllers for at least 7 days, we strongly suggest that you enable Enforcement mode on all Active Directory domain controllers.
After installing Windows updates released November 9, 2021 or later on domain controllers (DCs), some customers might see the new audit Event ID 37 logged after certain password setting or change operations such as:
A web server is a network service that serves content to a client over the web. This typically means web pages, but any other documents can be served as well. Web servers are also known as HTTP servers, as they use the hypertext transport protocol (HTTP).
If the Apache HTTP Server uses the TLS 1.3 protocol, certain clients require additional configuration. For example, in Firefox, set the security.tls.enable_post_handshake_auth parameter in the about:config menu to true. For further details, see Transport Layer Security version 1.3 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
If Credential Guard is enabled on a Windows 10 client, users' ticket granting ticket is not forwarded to the File Director server and the File Director server fails to authenticate the user. Enabling Kerberos Constrained Delegation allows the File Director server to create a ticket on behalf of the user. Preauthentication accounts must use constrained delegation with any protocol, to enable Windows server support for MS-S4U.
From release 2019.3, File Director can support secondary authentication methods (such as smart card readers for example) to further protect web interface access. With Kerberos SSO and secondary authentication enabled, users of domain-joined machines can log on to the web client seamlessly.
After installing Kerberos, you can use commands such as kinit(1), klist(1), krenew(1) and kdestroy(1). These commands require that the file /etc/krb5.conf exists and is correctly configured. The default contents of /etc/krb5.conf is likely not suitable for our purposes, so you can freely rename it and use your preferred editor to populate that file with the contents below, which is valid for both macOS and Linux:
In addition, if you have active Kerberos tickets for more than one realm, the macOS SSH client will use the ticket in the default credential cache, which may not be the one for CC.IN2P3.FR. To make sure your ticket for the reaml CC.IN2P3.FR is the default one, use the command:
Another possible cause of trouble is the permissions of the directory on your personal computer where kinit stores valid credentials. That directory is specified in the file /etc/krb5.conf, entry default_ccache_name and in we recommend it to be /tmp/kerberos (see Step 1: install and configure Kerberos). If you encounter an issue such as:
DBeaver Community Edition is the U-M recommended SQL client for use with Denodo. Follow the instructions below to configure DBeaver using Kerberos authentication with supplied username/password (not Single Sign-On).
UMICH.EDU = kdc = kerberos-1.umich.edu kdc = kerberos-2.umich.edu kdc = kerberos-3.umich.edu kdc = kerberos-4.umich.edu admin_server = kerberos-admin.umich.edu
FSSO NTLM authentication is supported in a Windows AD network. FSSO can also provide NTLM authentication service to the FortiGate unit. When a user makes a request that requires authentication, the FortiGate initiates NTLM negotiation with the client browser, but does not process the NTLM packets itself. Instead, it forwards all the NTLM packets to the FSSO service for processing.
A keytab is used to allow services that are not running Windows to be configured with service instance accounts in the Active Directory Domain Service (AD DS). This allows Kerberos clients to authenticate to the service through Windows Key Distribution Centers (KDCs). 2ff7e9595c
