Troubleshooting Kerberos
Troubleshooting KerberosWhen troubleshooting problems with Kerberos, you need a reference point from which to work. For example, is the problem on the remote system or on the local system? However, the terms “local” and “remote” are limited in their description of complex communications, such as when a local system logs on to a remote system and then the remote system logs back onto the local system. At that point, which is the local system and which is the remote system?
A better solution is to use the terms “client” and “server”. The term “client” refers to a process that requests a service from another process. The term “server” refers to a process or a host that performs operations requested by local or remote hosts that are running client processes.
A typical network service consists of two

Logging CapabilitiesThe security server handles the system logging differently.
