These planning work sheets demonstrate the information that you need to gather and the decisions you need to make as you prepare to configure the single sign-on function described by this scenario.
The following planning work sheets are tailored to fit this scenario based on the general single sign-on planning worksheets. To ensure a successful implementation, be able to answer Yes to all prerequisite items in the work sheet and you should gather all the information necessary to complete the work sheets before you perform any configuration tasks.
The Network Authentication Service APIs support job environments for most EBCDIC CCSIDs. However, CCSID 290 and 5026 are not supported because of the variance of lowercase letters a to z.

| How do you want to configure EIM for your system?
| Create and join a new domain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| What is the Kerberos server, also known as a key distribution center (KDC), for this Kerberos default realm? What is the port on which the Kerberos server listens?
|
| KDC: kdc1.myco.com
This is the default port for the Kerberos server. Do you want to configure a password server for this default realm? If yes, answer the following questions:
| What is name of the password server for this Kerberos server?
Yes
| Password server: kdc1.myco.com
This is the default port for the password server. For which services do you want to create keytab entries?

i5/OS Kerberos Authentication
| What is the password for your service principal or principals?
| systema123
| Do you want to create a batch file to automate adding the service principals for System A to the Kerberos registry?
| Yes
| Do you want to include passwords with the i5/OS service principals in the batch file?
| Yes
| As you exit the Network Authentication Service wizard, you will return to the EIM Configuration wizard. Use the following information to complete the EIM Configuration wizard:
| Specify user information that the wizard should use when configuring the directory server. This is the connection user. You must specify the port number, administrator distinguished name, and a password for the administrator. | Specify the LDAP administrator's distinguished name (DN) and password to ensure the wizard has enough authority to administer the EIM domain and the objects in it.
| Port: 389
What is the name of the EIM domain that you want to create?
| MyCoEimDomain
| Do you want to specify a parent DN for the EIM domain?
| No
| Which user registries do you want to add to the EIM domain?
|
| Local i5/OS--SYSTEMA.MYCO.COM
You should not select Kerberos user identities are case sensitive when the wizard presents this option. Which EIM user do you want System A to use when performing EIM operations? This is the system user. | If you have not configured the directory server before configuring single sign-on, the only distinguished name (DN) you can provide for the system user is the LDAP administrator's DN and password.
| User type: Distinguished name

| How do you want to configure EIM on your system? | Join an existing domain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do you want to configure network authentication service? You must configure network authentication service to configure single sign-on. Yes
| The Network Authentication Service wizard starts from the EIM Configuration wizard. Use the following information to complete the Network Authentication Service wizard: | You can start the Network Authentication Service wizard independently of the EIM Configuration wizard. What is the name of the Kerberos default realm to which your System i product will belong? | A Windows 2000 domain is equivalent to a Kerberos realm. Microsoft Active Directory uses Kerberos authentication as its default security mechanism. MYCO.COM
| Are you using Microsoft Active Directory?
| Yes
| What is the Kerberos server for this Kerberos default realm? What is the port on which the Kerberos server listens?
|
| KDC: kdc1.myco.com
This is the default port for the Kerberos server. Do you want to configure a password server for this default realm? If yes, answer the following questions:

| Do you want to specify a parent DN for the EIM domain?
| No
| What is the name of the user registry that you want to add to the EIM domain?
| Local i5/OS--SYSTEMB.MYCO.COM
| Which EIM user do you want System B to use when performing EIM operations?
