Interoperability with Windows 2000

Single Realm (Domain) Authentication

IMPORTANT

Single Realm (Domain) Authentication

Single realm interoperability scenarios involve one or more client systems in a given realm or domain that authenticate to a single KDC. Following are the interoperability scenarios that do not require interrealm authentication:

Kerberos server principals and Windows 2000 users can authenticate to a Kerberos server and access services registered in that realm.

Kerberos server principals and Windows 2000 users can authenticate to a Windows 2000 domain controller and access services registered in that domain.

Single realm authentication requires all Kerberos server principals and Windows 2000 users to be entered in the same database regardless of whether that is a principal database on a Kerberos server or a Windows 2000 domain controller.

In single realm authentication, principals can only access resources in their native realm. If a principal needs access to resources in a different realm, you must configure interrealm authentication.
