HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Configuring Kerberos Optional

NOTE: Do not attempt to explicitly remove the Availability Manager from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for Availability Manager although there appears to be an option to remove Availability Manager. The Availability Manager base software is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Attempts to remove it might not work as expected and can create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:

%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP I64VMS Availability Manager V8.3-1H1 is referenced by HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.3-1H1

The two products listed above are tightly bound by a software dependency. If you override the recommendation to terminate the operation, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing product will have an unsatisfied software dependency and may no longer function correctly. Please review the referencing product’s documentation on requirements.

Answer YES to the following question to terminate the PRODUCT command. However, if you are sure you want to remove the referenced product then answer NO to continue the operation.

Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

7.8.3 Configuring Kerberos (Optional)

The Kerberos for OpenVMS software, which is based on MIT Kerberos, is installed automatically with the operating system. However, use of Kerberos is not required. If you do not plan to use Kerberos or any products that depend on Kerberos, skip to the next section.

To configure Kerberos, perform the following steps from a privileged OpenVMS user account (for example, SYSTEM).

1.Run the following command procedure to configure the Kerberos clients and servers: $ @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$CONFIGURE.COM

2.Add the following line to your SYLOGIN command procedure or to the LOGIN.COM of each user who will use Kerberos:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:KRB$SYMBOLS

3.Edit SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to remove the exclamation point from the KRB$STARTUP.COM line so that it appears as shown in the following example. (Note that SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM has HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS starting before Kerberos. This is required.)

$ @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$STARTUP.COM

For additional setup and configuration information, see the HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 3: Kerberos manual. This document contains links to the MIT Kerberos documentation and is available from the OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 kit.
