Kerberos

Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that provides strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography.

The system administrator can configure the SLC 8000 advanced console manager to use Kerberos to authenticate users attempting to log in using the Web, Telnet, SSH, or the console port.

Users who are authenticated through Kerberos are granted device port access through the port permissions on this page.

All Kerberos users are members of a group that has predefined user rights associated with it. You can add additional user rights that are not defined by the group.

To configure the SLC 8000 advanced console manager to use Kerberos to authenticate users:

1.Click the User Authentication tab and select the Kerberos option. The following page displays.
