Kerberos is an open-source computer network authentication protocol that uses tickets to verify the identity of users before
allowing them to access network resources.
Prerequisites: Your client host (your PC) is part of the same LDAP realm as the station.
- Launch
Workbench and open a platform or station.
If
Workbench is able to acquire your native Kerberos credentials, it displays the Authentication window with credentials filled in.
- Do one of the following:
- If
Workbench fills in your credentials with credentials from the LDAP server, click OK to log in.
- If
Workbench is unable to acquire your native Kerberos credentials from the LDAP server, it displays a simple login window.
- To log in as a different LDAP user or as a local user, enter different credentials.
You are logged in using Kerberos authentication.
