Configuring network authentication service
Here are the prerequisites and procedures for configuring network authentication service on your systems.
Before you configure network authentication service, you should
perform the following tasks:
- Complete all the necessary planning work sheets.
- Verify that when your PCs and IBM® i platforms perform host name resolution, they resolve the same host names for your IBM i products. Refer to Host name resolution considerations for this task.
- Configure a Kerberos server on a secure system in
your network. If you have configured a Kerberos server in PASE for i, ensure that
you have completed all the necessary configuration of the server and
client workstations before configuring network authentication on the IBM i platform. See Configuring a Kerberos server in PASE for i for details on
configuring a Kerberos server in PASE for i.
You can also have a Kerberos server configured on Microsoft Windows, Windows server, and z/OS®. See the appropriate documentation that corresponds with the Kerberos configuration for the system that will be used as a Kerberos server.
Configure the Kerberos server before you configure network authentication service on the IBM i platform.
