The Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service used to authenticate the user.
Data Type
string
Default Value
""
Remarks
The Kerberos properties are used when using SPNEGO or Windows Authentication. The adapter will
request session tickets and temporary session keys from the Kerberos KDC service. The Kerberos KDC
service is conventionally colocated with the domain controller.
If Kerberos KDC is not specified, the adapter will attempt to detect these properties automatically
from the following locations:
- KRB5 Config File (krb5.ini/krb5.conf): If the KRB5_CONFIG environment variable is set and
the file exists, the adapter will obtain the KDC from the specified file. Otherwise it will
attempt to read from the default MIT location based on the OS:
C:\ProgramData\MIT\Kerberos5\krb5.ini (Windows) or /etc/krb5.conf (Linux)
- Java System Properties: Using the system properties java.security.krb5.realm and
java.security.krb5.kdc.
- Domain Name and Host: The adapter will infer the Kerberos Realm and Kerberos KDC from the
configured domain name and host as a last resort.
Note: Windows authentication is supported in JRE 1.6 and above only.
