Client and Application Server Installation
Before a client machine or Kerberized application server can use Kerberos authentication, it must have the proper libraries, configuration files, and in some cases, service and host principals added to a local keytab file. We will limit the discussion (for now) to using the same Kerberos implementation both on the KDC and the clients. Most of the setup information below can be used to interface with a different vendor’s KDC, but we will take a closer look at interoperability later in Chapter 8.
