Installing Kerberos For Windows 3.2.0

Distribution

You can download the CSAIL custom KfW 3.2.0 package from our software distribution site.

Kerberos Installation Instructions :

Contents

The contents of this .zip file contain a custom CSAIL kfw-3-2-0.msi package, as well as custom CSAIL:

  • krb5.ini
  • krb.con
  • krbrealm.con

The custom .msi package is intended for CSAIL members wishing to install Network Identify Manager with the proper CSAIL environment and realm variables set. Running the .msi will install Kerberos for Windows (Network Identity Manager) as well as copying krb5.ini, krb.con, krbrealm.con to your c:\%systemroot% (usually c:\windows) directory. If you have a previous version of KfW? installed, it will not overwrite the existing copying krb5.ini, krb.con, krbrealm.con files.

Installation:

  • Before installation, it is necessary you uninstall any previous KfW? versions.

  • Unzip the CSAIL_krb.zip package

  • Run the kfw-3-2-0.msi installer

  • Click next, accept the License Agreement, click next.

  • Choose 'Typical' for Setup Type, click install, click finish.

Usage

  • Launch the Network Identity Manager
-->Start-->Programs-->Kerberos for Windows-->Network Identity Manager

  • Click on the 'Obtain New Credentials' button highlighted below

  • Enter you CSAIL username, choose CSAIL.MIT.EDU as your domain, and password. When you have successfully entered your username and password, Network Identity Manager will automatically create a new identity for you (unless you have one already.)

Using Kerberos with SSH

For best results (preventing password prompts while ensuring forwardable tickets that grant you access to AFS on the remote side), do not use either SecureCRT or "stock" PuTTY. Instead, see PuTTY with Kerberos.
