Quick question: If I have 500 users, I need to add 500 Kerberos accounts?
Joining a Kerberos user account to a domainTo use Kerberos authentication, you need the client joined and connected to a domain and you need a keytab file. 1)Create a surrogate user in the domain. In this example, the hostname of the virtual server on the BIG-IP system is testbed.lab.companynet and the user name is john. setspn -U -A HTTP/testbed.lab.companynet john 2) Map the user account to the service account and generate a keytab file for the service. You can use the ktpass utility to do this. In this example, LAB.COMPANYNET specifies the Kerberos authentication realm. c:>ktpass -princ HTTP/testbed.lab.companynet.com@LAB.COMPANYNET -mapuser john@LAB.COMPANYNET -crypto rc4-hmac-nt -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -pass password -out c:\temp\john.keytab
