Configuring network authentication service

Network authentication service allows the System i™ product to participate in an existing Kerberos network. Network authentication service assumes that you have a Kerberos server configured on a secure system in your network.

Configuring a Kerberos server

Currently, you can configure a Kerberos server in i5/OS^® Portable Application Solutions Environment (i5/OS PASE). In addition to this i5/OS support, the System i platform also interoperates with the Microsoft^® Windows^® 2000, Windows 2003, AIX^® Server, and z/OS^®. Use the following information to learn how to configure a Kerberos server on each of these platforms:

• Windows 2000 server

• z/OS Security Server Network Authentication Service Administration

• IBM^® Network Authentication Service AIX, Linux^®, and Solaris Administrator's and User's Guide

  You can find this documentation in the AIX 5L™ Expansion Pack and Bonus Pack CD.
