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.

After you have configured network authentication service, you can request tickets, work with key table files, and administer host name resolution. You can also work with credentials files and back up configuration files. The following topics describe how to complete these tasks:

iSeries™ user tasks

The iSeries can also operate as a client in a Kerberos-enabled network. Users can sign on to the iSeries and perform Kerberos-related tasks through the Qshell Interpreter. The following tasks use several Qshell commands to perform common tasks for iSeries users.
Note: If you are using the PC5250 emulator in iSeries Navigator, you need to change the Remote signon system value to enable you to bypass the signon. To change the Remote signon system value, follow these steps:
  1. In iSeries Navigator, expand your iSeries server > Configuration and Service > System Values > Signon.
  2. On the Remote page, select Allow signon to be bypassed and Source and target user IDs must match, and click OK.
