Appendix: Enabling Kerberos Authentication in the Browser

This appendix describes how to enable Kerberos authentication in:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer.

• Mozilla Firefox.

Enabling Kerberos Authentication in Internet Explorer

To enable Kerberos authentication in Internet Explorer:

1. Open Internet Explorer and select Tools, Internet Options. Then, select the Security tab.

2. In the zones display, select Local intranet and then, click the Sites button.

3. Select the check boxes that apply to the PeopleSoft site.

4. If these settings do not meet your needs, then click the Advanced button and add the site specifically. After you add the site, click the Closebutton.

5. On the Local Intranet dialog box, click the OK button.

6. On the Internet Options dialog box, select the Advanced tab. Then, scroll down to the Security settings. Select the Enable Integrated Windows Authentication check box.

7. Click the OK button and then, restart the browser so that the settings take effect.

Enabling Kerberos Authentication in Firefox

Firefox does not automatically perform Kerberos authentication against any sites. You must manually add sites to a trusted sites list.

To enable Kerberos authentication in Firefox:

1. Open Firefox and enter about:config in the address bar. Dismiss any warnings that appear.

2. In the Filter field, enter negotiate.

3. Double-click the network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris preference.

   This preference lists the trusted sites for Kerberos authentication.

4. In the dialog box, enter the PeopleSoft domain, such as example.com.

5. Click the OK button.

   The domain that you just entered in the network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris should now appear in Value column. The setting takes effect immediately; you do not have to restart Firefox.
