Configure Kerberos authentication on the Administration Console

If you are using the IXIA TEXTML Server Java Console to connect to a server with Kerberos authentication, you must enable Kerberos authentication on the Console.

1. Go to the directory for the TEXTML Server Java Console.
   For example:

   On Windows:

   C:\Program Files\IxiaSoft\TextmlServer44\TextmlAdminJava\

2. Open the krb5.ini.empty file and save is as krb5.ini.
   This file specifies the Kerberos configuration used for authentication. Configure it as follows:

   • realm: Kerberos realm name. This is the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of your Active Directory Windows domain. The domain name is case-sensitive, so note what is in uppercase or lowercase in the example of the krb5.ini Kerberos configuration file.

     For example, replace acme.local with yourdomainname.local in lowercase and ACME.LOCAL with YOURDOMAINNAME.LOCAL in uppercase.

   • kdc: Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) host name and Windows domain controller port.

   For example:

   [domain_realm]
      .acme.local = ACME.LOCAL
      acme.local = ACME.LOCAL
      acme = ACME.LOCAL
      ACME = ACME.LOCAL
   [libdefaults]
      default_realm = ACME.LOCAL
      dns_lookup_kdc = true
      dns_lookup_realm = true
   [logging]
   [realms]
      ACME.LOCAL = {
      kdc = dc1.acme.local
      kdc = dc2.acme.local
      admin_server = dc1.acme.local
      default_domain = ACME.LOCAL       
   }
