Adding realms

Before you can add a realm to the i5/OS^® configuration, you need to configure the Kerberos server for the new realm. To add a realm to the i5/OS network authentication service task, you need the realm name, the name of the Kerberos server, and the port on which it listens.

To add a realm to the network authentication service, follow these steps:

1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your system > Security > Network Authentication Service.

2. Right-click Realms and select Add Realm.

3. In the Realm to add field, enter the host name of the realm that you want to add. For example, a valid realm name might be: MYCO.COM.

4. Enter the name of the Kerberos server for the realm that you are adding in the KDC field. For example, a valid name might be: kdc1.myco.com.

5. Enter the port number on which the Kerberos server listens for requests. A valid port number can be 1-65535. The default port for the Kerberos server is 88.

6. Click OK.
