When you set up your account in Entourage, you must click Use Kerberos authentication, or for all other types of authentication, click Use my account information. When you choose the Kerberos authentication method, the user, password, and domain text fields in the Use my account information section are disabled. The disabled fields serve as a visual clue that Kerberos authentication is mutually exclusive with the other available authentication. When Kerberos protocol is enabled, it is used to attempt authentication against all of the servers related to the account, such as HTTP or LDAP. When Kerberos protocol is disabled in the account settings, Kerberos authentication will not be attempted against any of the servers related to the account.

For new Exchange accounts, Kerberos protocol is disabled by default with None selected in the Kerberos ID pop-up menu. When you enable Kerberos protocol, Entourage allows the user to choose or create a valid Kerberos ID. If the account is created using auto-detect, the Kerberos ID pop-up menu is populated with the existing ID. Kerberos protocol attempts auto-detect against servers if there is at least one Kerberos ticket present in the Mac OS X credential cache or a _kerberos._tcp.<domain> record is available from the Domain Name Server (DNS). If the auto- detect process is successful, the ticket is populated on the account’s Kerberos ID pop-up menu. If the auto-detect process does not include a successful Kerberos authentication, the account’s Kerberos setting will be disabled and Kerberos ID pop-up menu is set to None.

To create a new Kerberos ID, provide the user name, password, and realm information. Realm is another name for a "domain" In the Authenticate to Kerberos dialog box, in the Name field, type Account ID. This is sometimes the part of your e-mail address before the "@" symbol.

Note In the Realm field, you must type the domain name in all uppercase letters, such as

ALPINESKIHOUSE.COM.

Kerberos authentication for administrators

Kerberos authentication might fail if the account’s primary mailbox server does not support Kerberos protocol or if the KDC fails. To ensure that users are authenticated successfully by using Kerberos protocol, you should make sure that the KDC is up and running for users to access the different network services. In enterprise and mission-critical environments, it's important for administrators to create at least one failover KDC.

When Kerberos authentication fails, Entourage provides the option of using the other supported authentication mechanisms. The types of authentication methods that are available for Microsoft Exchange e-mail accounts can vary depending on whether authentication is performed on a front- end server or on a back-end server. For more information about the different authentication methods, see Authentication and security in the WebDAV environment in the Office 2008 Planning section.
