Interoperability with Windows 2000

Kerberos Server and Windows 2000 InteroperabilityKerberos Server and Windows 2000 Interoperability

Following are the possible interrealm interoperability scenarios between the Kerberos server software and Windows 2000, each with its own configuration requirements.

Scenario 1

A Windows 2000 user needs access to services in a Kerberos server realm. Here, the Kerberos server realm is the target realm and the Windows 2000 domain is the source realm. The Kerberos server must trust the Windows 2000 domain controller to perform secure authentication.

Scenario 2

A Kerberos server principal needs access to services in a Windows 2000 domain. Here, the Windows 2000 domain is the target realm and the Kerberos server realm is the source realm. The Windows 2000 domain controller must trust the Kerberos server to perform secure authentication.

Scenario 3

The Kerberos server principals and Windows 2000 users must access services in the realm or domain. Two-way trust must exist between the Kerberos server and the Windows 2000 domain controller.
