Verifying Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Kerberos Installation and Configuration

Verify that you have correctly installed and configured Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Kerberos.

How to Verify Oracle Solaris Cluster HA for Kerberos Installation and Configuration

1. Configure a Kerberos client to authenticate the newly created server as described in Configuring Kerberos Clients in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

   When referencing the server in the client's configuration file, /etc/krb5/krb5.conf, specify the logical hostname of the server. An example of this name could be kdc-1.example.com.

2. After the client is configured, test the authentication of a user principal by using kinit(1).

   # kinit user_name

   Password for user_name@realm_name:

   user_name

   A user principal that you created previously

   realm_name

   Indicates the realm name that was previously configured in the Kerberos environment.

   You return to the shell prompt without any error message being output to the terminal.

3. Test the Kerberos administration service.

   # kadmin -p administrative_principal_name

   Authenticating as principal administrative_principal_name@realm_name with password.
       Password for administrative_principal_name@realm_name: 
       kadmin:  quit

   administrative_principal_name

   An administrative principal that you had previously created.

   realm_name

   Indicates the realm name that was previously configured in the Kerberos environment.

   You return to the shell prompt without any error message being output to the terminal.
