<div><p>Use this information to learn more about Kerberos, single signon,
and secure sockets layer (SSL).</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Kerberos</h4><p>iSeries™ Access for Linux<sup>®</sup> supports
authenticating to the iSeries using Kerberos. To install and configure iSeries for
Kerberos, see the Single signon topic, in the Security topic collection.</p>
<p>To
install and configure Linux for Kerberos, see one of the many <span class="q">"How To's"</span> available
on the Internet. For example: <a href="http://www.linux.com/howtos/Kerberos-Infrastructure-HOWTO/client-configure.shtml" target="_blank">www.linux.com/howtos/Kerberos-Infrastructure-HOWTO/client-configure.shtml</a></p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Most Linux distributions
have at least one (Heimdal and MIT) version of Kerberos 5 included with them.
However, some distributions neglect to create a symbolic link for the Kerberos
shared library (Heimdal /usr/lib/libgssapi.so or MIT /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so). iSeries Access
for Linux dynamically
loads the Kerberos shared library by that name and if a symbolic link to that
name is not available, you get the following error: CWBSY1015 - Kerberos not
available on this version of the operating system.</div>
<p>To use Kerberos
with iSeries Access
for Linux,
you must first authenticate to your Kerberos domain using the <samp class="codeph">kinit</samp> command
or by setting up your initial Linux login to authenticate with the pluggable
authentication module (PAM) Kerberos plugin. After successful authentication,
you should be able to do a <samp class="codeph">klist -f</samp> to see the status of
your Kerberos tickets.</p>
<p>For any iSeries Access function, you can use <samp class="codeph">*kerberos</samp> in
place of the iSeries user
profile to use your Kerberos tickets. Any password will be ignored in this
case. For example: <samp class="codeph">/opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess/bin/rmtcmd CRTLIB Test /system:iSeriesSystemName
/user:*kerberos</samp>.</p>
<p>The Kerberos principle name will be based
upon the fully qualified TCP/IP name received from the reverse lookup of the
TCP/IP address. If you use a hosts file to resolve TCP/IP addresses, be sure
to include the fully qualified TCP/IP system name. For example: <samp class="codeph">1.2.3.4
MyiSseries.MyDomain.com MyiSeries</samp>.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Single signon</h4>The ibm5250 emulator supports Kerberos
and single signon. Using either command line options or the setup5250 configuration
utility you can enable this security support.</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Secure sockets layer</h4>For enabling iSeries Access
for Linux to
use secure sockets layer (SSL) support, OpenSSL and stunnel must be installed
and configured. An example stunnel configuration file ( /opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess/doc/iSeriesAccess.stunnel.config
) is provided to get you started.</div>
