setspn -A library/delos.dvt.mycompany.com kerbtest
6 At the command prompt, create the keytab file for the SPN. Use one of the following formats:
• For Windows 2003:
ktpass -out library.keytab -princ
library/<fqdn of library>@<realm>
+rndPass -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -crypto RC4-HMAC-NT -mapUser <realm>/computers/<computer
account>
For example:
ktpass -out library.keytab -princ library/delos.dvt.mycompany.com@OURREALM.LOCAL
+rndPass -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -crypto RC4-HMAC-NT -mapUser ourrealm.local/computers/kerbtest
• For Windows 2008:
ktpass -out library.keytab -princ library/
<fqdn of library>@<realm>
+rndPass -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -crypto AES256-SHA1
-mapUser <realm>/computers/<computer account>
For example:
ktpass -out library.keytab -princ library/delos.dvt.mycompany.com@OURREALM.LOCAL
+rndPass -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -crypto AES256-SHA1
-mapUser ourrealm.local/computers/kerbtest
Setting the Date, Time, and Time Zone
Administrators can either set the library date, time, and time zone settings manually or configure the Network Time Protocol
(NTP).
Note: The following operations should not be performed concurrently by multiple administrators logged in from
different locations. You can access the appropriate screens, but you cannot apply changes while another administrator
is performing the same operation.
Note: For step-by-step date and time configuration instructions, see your library's online Help. To access the online
Help system, click the Help icon at the top right of the web client or operator panel user interface.
Setting the Date and Time Manually
The Setup Wizard - Date & Time screen allows you to set the date and time for the library. You can also access the date
and time setup screen by selecting Date & Time from the Setup menu on either the operator panel or the Web client.
Date and time settings are used to log the date and time events take place and to set the time for automatic backup and
restore functions. At a minimum, you should set the library's date and time as part of the initial library configuration.
The time is set to a 24 hour clock. For example, four o'clock in the afternoon is entered as 16:00.
Setting the Date and Time Using the Network Time Protocol
The library supports the Network Time Protocol (NTP). NTP allows you to synchronize the library date and time with other
components in your IT infrastructure. Administrators can either modify the date and time zone settings manually or configure
NTP.
If NTP is enabled, the time zone and IP addresses of at least one NTP server must be configured on the library. Contact your
network administrator for NTP server IP address information.
You can use the Web client Setup Wizard - Date & Time screen to enable and configure NTP. You can also access the date
and time setup screen by selecting Date & Time from the Setup menu on the Web client.
Details on NTP settings include:
• At least one NTP server must be configured and available.
• NTP is enabled on the Date & Time screen. When NTP is enabled, you cannot manually configure date and time. For
more information on setting date and time manually, see
Setting the Date and Time Manually.
• You can enter an IP address for a primary and an alternate (optional) NTP server.
