Add realms

Add a new realm to the network authentication service configuration.

As the network administrator, you may want to add a new realm to the network authentication service configuration. Before you can add a realm to the iSeries™ configuration, the Kerberos server must be configured for the new realm. Before you can add a realm to the iSeries network authentication service task, you need the realm name, the name of the Kerberos server and the port on which it listens.

To add a realm to the network authentication service, complete the following steps:

  1. In iSeries Navigator, select your iSeries server > Security > Network Authentication Service.
  2. Right-click Realms and select Add Realm.
  3. In the Realm to add field, enter the host name of the realm that you want to add. For example, a valid realm name might be: MYCO.COM.
  4. Enter the name of the Kerberos server for the realm that you are adding in the KDC field. For example, a valid name might be: kdc1.myco.com.
  5. Enter the port number on which the Kerberos server listens for requests. A valid port number can be 1-65535. The default port for the Kerberos server is 88.
  6. Click OK.
