Using Firefox for browser access (as a Kerberos authenticated LDAP user) to a station requires that you add to the browser’s
security configuration the stations to which you wish the browser to connect .
NOTE: The following instructions are subject to change due to browser updates. Refer to the browsers' documentation for the latest
instructions.
Perform the following steps:
- Open a Firefox window.
- Type about:config in the location bar and press Enter.
If a warning appears, continue (promise to be careful).
- In the Search box near the top of the page type negotiate.
This filters the Firefox configuration attributes to six or seven. You need to edit these entries:
network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris
- Include the URLs of the station(s) that the browser needs to be able to access. Use a comma to separate multiple stations.
For example, if two stations have the following URLs:
http://host1.domain.com/somepage, and
http:/ /host2.domain.com/somepage, enter the URLs as follows:
host1.domain.com,host2.domain.com
Firefox is ready for Kerberos authentication and you should be able to log in to stations without being prompted for a user
name and password.
