Create a Kerberos configuration file

Before you begin

Create a Kerberos service principal (SPN) and keytab file on your Microsoft domain controller machine

About this task

Step 2 towards the goal: Creating a single sign-on for HTTP requests using SPNEGO Web authentication

Procedure

The IBM® implementation of the Java Generic Security Service (JGSS) and KRB5 require a Kerberos configuration file (krb5.conf or krb5.ini) on each node or Java virtual machine (JVM). In this release of WebSphere Application Server, this configuration file should be placed in the config/cells/<cell_name> directory so that all application servers can access this file. If you do not have a Kerberos configuration file, use a wsadmin command to create one. Read the Creating a Kerberos configuration article for more information.

What to do next

Configure and enable SPNEGO web authentication using the administrative console on your WebSphere Application Server machine
