Kerberos
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that provides strong authentication for client/server
applications by using secret-key cryptography.
The system administrator can configure the EMG to use Kerberos to authenticate users attempting
to log in using the Web, Telnet, SSH, or the console port.
Users who are authenticated through Kerberos are granted device port access through the port
permissions on this page.
All Kerberos users are members of a group that has predefined user rights associated with it. You
can add additional user rights that are not defined by the group.
To configure the EMG to use Kerberos to authenticate users:
1. Click the User Authentication tab and select the Kerberos option. The following page
displays.
