Configuring for domain authentication

This topic provides instructions for configuring BMC Decision Support for Server Automation so users can authenticate to the Authentication Service by providing an AD/Kerberos user name, domain, and password.

The following procedure is a master procedure. Each of the steps in this procedure references a subsection that describes another procedure.

1. Obtain the host names for Active Directory Key Distribution Centers (KDCs). See Locating Active Directory KDCs.
2. Create the blappserv_krb5.conf file, which defines Active Directory domains and servers.
3. Create the blappserv_login.conf file, which provides the location of the keytab file.
4. Configure the Authentication Service to support domain authentication.
