Kerberos and DSX
DSX can use kerberos authentication by using the following steps. As a result , Kerberos-based
network mutual authentication and symmetric [ a.k.a. private/secret] key cryptography can be
achieved in the CLI and GUI of the DSX for remote user authentication.

See

the

MIT Kerberos

website for information about Kerberos, KDC, Kadmind , client machine

setup, and the FAQs related to these topics.

1. Set your krb5.conf stanzas and ftp it using getkrbconfig [ configuration settings available

in : http://www.faqs.org/faqs/kerberos-faq/general/section-38.html ]

2. Get a ticket use : kinit.
3. Use kadmin to add the keys to /etc/krb5.keytab for HTTP/FQDN@REALM and

host/FQDN@REALM .These keys are consistent across boots.

4. Remote authentication and authorization can be set up along with Kerberos

authentication. HTTP and telnet access will prompt you to enter username and password.
Currently Kerberos does not automatically map to local or remote usernames.

5. Enable Kerberos.
6. After a reboot, DSX is ready for secure telnet and HTTP protocol remote access.

Diagnostic Tips:

• Use the name command in the network menu to set the FQDN for DSX.
• Disable HTTP redirect from the services menu.
• Synchronize the time of the client machine. DSX machine, KDC and kadmind machines

using time menu and ntp option.
