Configuring Kerberos Clients
Kerberos clients include any host on the network that is not a KDC server and that needs to use Kerberos services. This section provides procedures for installing a Kerberos client, as well as information about using root authentication to mount NFS file systems.
Client configuration options are similar to the server options, with the addition
of the Automated Installer (AI):
-
AI – Recommended for quick and easy installation of multiple Kerberos
clients
-
Automatic – Recommended for scripts
-
Interactive – Sufficient for most installations
-
Manual – Necessary for more complex installations
The following task map describes the tasks that are covered in this section.
