Configuring browser settings for Kerberos authentication

After the Active Directory administrator has configured the Active Directory for Kerberos, the BMC Helix Single Sign-On administrator has configured a realm for Kerberos authentication, you must make sure that the browser on an end user's system is configured to support Kerberos authentication.
