(Optional) Configure Kerberos authentication

If IXIA TEXTML Server uses Kerberos authentication, you must configure Kerberos authentication on the IXIA CCMS Web Server by replacing the template of the krb5.ini Kerberos configuration file in the installation package with the one configured for your deployment.

1. In the location where you extracted the installation package, locate the krb5.ini file, which is provided as a template or placeholder for your Kerberos configuration file.
2. Replace the krb5.ini template with a copy of your krb5.ini file used for the other IXIA CCMS components in your deployment or edit the template as required.
   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       
   }
