Kerberos authentication (Windows)

To enable Windows Kerberos authentication, you must configure both IXIA TEXTML Server and the client.

Note: Kerberos authentication is supported on Windows only; it is not supported on Linux.

The task to enable Kerberos authentication includes the following activities:

  • Creation of Service Principal Names (SPN) for the TEXTML Server service in the Active Directory of the Kerberos server, see Configure Kerberos authentication
  • Confirmation that there are no duplicate SPN groups during Kerberos delegation of the machine or user account for TEXTML Server
  • TEXTML Server authentication in the TEXTML Server configuration
