Configure iSeries Access for Windows applications to use Kerberos authentication

You must use Kerberos to authenticate before you can use iSeries™ Navigator to access your system. Therefore, from your PC, you need to configure iSeries Access for Windows® to use Kerberos authentication.

To configure iSeries Access for Windows applications to use Kerberos authentication, complete the following steps:

Note: Each of your users needs to perform all of these steps on their own PC.
  1. Log on to the Windows 2000 domain by signing in to your PC.
  2. In iSeries Navigator on your PC, right-click iSeries A and select Properties.
  3. On the Connection page, select Use Kerberos principal name, no prompting. This will allow iSeries Access for Windows connections to use the Kerberos principal name and password for authentication.
  4. A message is displayed that indicates you need to close and restart all applications that are currently running for the changes to the connection settings to take effect. Click OK. Then, end and restart iSeries Navigator.

Now that you have configured iSeries Access for Windows applications to use Kerberos authentication, you can verify the single signon environment.
