Create a Kerberos configuration file

Map Step 2 towards the goal: Creating a single sign-on for HTTP requests using SPNEGO Web authentication

About this task

The IBM® implementation of the Java Generic Security Service (JGSS) and KRB5 require a Kerberos configuration file (krb5.conf or krb5.ini) on each node or Java virtual machine (JVM). In this release of WebSphere® Application Server, this configuration file should be placed in the config/cells/<cell_name> directory so that all application servers can access this file. If you do not have a Kerberos configuration file, use a wsadmin command to create one.

Read the Creating a Kerberos configuration article for more information.

Before you begin

Create a Kerberos service principal (SPN) and keytab file on your Microsoft domain controller machine

Supporting information (generally applicable)

What to do next

Configure and enable SPNEGO web authentication using the administrative console on your WebSphere Application Server machine
