PROBLEM:

How do you configure the Hummingbird Connectivity Kerberos client to allow kerberized Xstart, Hummingbird FTP or HostExplorer VT sessions?

SOLUTION:

The following information must be gathered before you can begin to configure Connectivity Kerberos:

• A valid Kerberos username/password.
• The hostname/IP of the KDC.
• The domain name for the Kerberos server.
• The actual name of the Kerberos Realm.

Once all of the above information is known, you can follow these steps:

1. Run Hummingbird Connectivity Kerberos.
2. Click on OPTIONS, then KERBEROS PROPERTIES.
3. Click on the REALM / SERVER MAPPING tab.
4. Click the INSERT button on the KERBEROS REALM section, enter the actual Kerberos realm in UPPERCASE LETTERS and click OK.
5. With the new realm highlighted, click the INSERT button for the SERVERS HOSTING A KDC section, and enter the hostname/ip of the KDC and click OK.
6. Click the DNS / REALM MAPPING tab, remove any entries that exist there, and then click INSERT.
7. On the "DOMAIN or HOST" field, enter your kerberos domain name (example: hcl.com).
8. On the "KERBEROS REALM" field, enter your kerberos realm in UPPER CASE letters and click OK (example: MYREALM.COM).
9. Click APPLY and then OK.

You are now successfully setup to use Kerberos authentication via Xstart, HostExplorer VT sessions or Hummingbird FTP.

NOTE: This FAQ presumes that all of your Kerberos authentication/KDC/realm/domain names are correct.
