Configuring a realm for Kerberos authentication

To configure the Kerberos authentication

2. In the Authentication Type field, click KERBEROS.

3. Enter the required Kerberos details:

   Field	Description
   KDC Server	Name of the machine where the Active Directory Domain Controller is hosted. Example: ker.114kdc.local
   Kerberos Realm	Name of the Kerberos realm. You must enter the realm in upper case. Example: RSSO.COM
   Service Principal Name (SPN)	SPN created for Remedy SSO server in Active Directory. If keytab is used, provide the full form of the SPN. For example, HTTP/access.bmc.com. If keytab is not used, specify the login name of the integration user.
   Credential Type	Credential type to be used by Remedy SSO server to log on to Active Directory. Select one of the following: SPN Password Keytab File
   SPN Password	Password for the service account. This field is available only if you select SPN Password in the Credential Type field.
   Keytab File	Path to the keytabfile. This field is available only if you select Keytab File in the Credential Type field. In Remedy SSO server cluster environment, each Remedy SSO server node must contain the same keytab file and keytab file path.
   UserId Format	Select one of the following formats from the list to transform the user id after a successful login. user - Retains the User ID user@domain - User ID with the Kerberos domain as suffix domain\user - User ID preceded by the domain
   User ID Transformation	Options to transform the login IDs provided by the authentication provider to match the user IDs available in the user store. For more information, see Transforming-User-ID-to-match-Login-ID.
   Included IP Range(s)	The IP address for Kerberos authentication. You can also specify a range of IP addresses separated by a comma. Only the clients whose IP address match with the IP addresses configured in this field are authenticated by Kerberos authentication. All other requests coming from the IP addresses that are not configured in this field are passed on to the next IdP in the authentication chain. If you do not specify any IP address, Remedy SSO server authenticates all the IP addresses using Kerberos authentication. The following table provides some of the examples of IP addresses that you can configure: Example Description 127.0.0.1 Single IP address. 127 Value for IP address 0.0.0127. 127.0.0.* All IPs from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.255, such as 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, and so on. 127.0.0.1-255 A range of IP addresses from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.255. 127.0.0.1/8 All IPs from 127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.255.
