<h1 class="topictitle1">Network authentication service</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Network authentication service allows the iSeries™ server and several iSeries services,
|
||
|
|
such as iSeries eServer™ Access
|
||
|
|
for Windows<sup>®</sup>,
|
||
|
|
to use a Kerberos ticket as an optional replacement for a user name and password
|
||
|
|
for authentication.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The Kerberos protocol, developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
|
||
|
|
allows a principal (a user or service) to prove its identity to another service
|
||
|
|
within an unsecure network. Authentication of principals is completed through
|
||
|
|
a centralized server called a Kerberos server or key distribution center (KDC). <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Throughout
|
||
|
|
this documentation the generic term <span class="q">"Kerberos server"</span> is used.</div>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>A user authenticates with a principal and a password that is stored in
|
||
|
|
the Kerberos server. Once a principal is authenticated, the Kerberos server
|
||
|
|
issues a ticket-granting ticket (TGT) to the user. When a user needs access
|
||
|
|
to an application or service on the network, the Kerberos client application
|
||
|
|
on the user's PC sends the TGT back to the Kerberos server to obtain a service
|
||
|
|
ticket for the target service or application. The Kerberos client application
|
||
|
|
then sends the service ticket to the service or application for authentication.
|
||
|
|
Once the service or application accepts the ticket a security context is established
|
||
|
|
and the user's application can then exchange data with a target service. Applications
|
||
|
|
can authenticate a user and securely forward his or her identity to other
|
||
|
|
services on the network. Once a user is known, separate functions are needed
|
||
|
|
to verify the user's authorization to use the network resources.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Network authentication service implements the following specifications:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Kerberos Version 5 protocol Request for Comment (RFC) 1510</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Many of the de facto standard Kerberos protocol application programming
|
||
|
|
interfaces (APIs) prevalent in the industry today</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Generic Security Service (GSS) APIs as defined by RFCs 1509, 1964, and
|
||
|
|
2743</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>i5/OS™ implementation
|
||
|
|
of network authentication service operates with authentication, delegation,
|
||
|
|
and data confidentiality services compliant with these RFCs and Microsoft's Windows 2000
|
||
|
|
Security Service Provider Interface (SSPI) APIs. Microsoft<sup>®</sup> Windows Active Directory uses Kerberos
|
||
|
|
as its default security mechanism. When users are added to Microsoft Windows Active
|
||
|
|
Directory, their Windows identification is equivalent to a Kerberos
|
||
|
|
principal. Network authentication service provides for interoperability with Microsoft Windows Active
|
||
|
|
Directory and its implementation of the Kerberos protocol.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakhplan.htm">Plan network authentication service</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Before implementing network authentication service or a Kerberos solution on your network it is essential to complete the necessary planning tasks.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakhconfigparent.htm">Configure network authentication service</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Network authentication service allows the iSeries server to participate in an existing
|
||
|
|
Kerberos network. As such, network authentication service assumes you have
|
||
|
|
a Kerberos server configured on a secure system in your network.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzakhmanage.htm">Manage network authentication service</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Manage network authentication service by requesting tickets, working with key table files, and administering host name resolution. You can also work with credentials files and back up configuration files.</li>
