Configure network authentication service

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.

Configuring a Kerberos server

Currently, you can configure a Kerberos server in i5/OS™ Portable Application Solutions Environment (i5/OS PASE). In addition to this i5/OS support, the iSeries server also interoperates with the Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows 2003, AIX® Server, and zSeries®. Use the following information to learn how to configure a Kerberos server on each of these platforms:
