Adding a Realm

 

 

Adding a Realm

 

 

A realm is a collection of principals that reside in the same

 

 

administrative domain. Your network naming scheme, network topology,

 

 

security policy and company organization determine which principals

 

 

and services you put in a relam.

 

 

Within a realm, all prinicpals share the same security and

 

 

administrative policy.

 

 

When you add a realm, kadminl_ui automatically creates some reserved

 

 

principals, which must remain in the database.

If you want to include the realm in inter-realm authentication, then

 

 

create the ticket-granting service principal for inter-realm

 

 

authentication. Refer to Chapter 8, “Inter-realm,” on page 243, for more

 

 

information on inter-realm authentication.
