Configure clients for Kerberos authentication
Each supported platform has a different security framework.
Each supported platform has a different security framework. Thus, the steps required to configure and authenticate against Kerberos differ among clients.
On the server side, you construct the Vertica Kerberos service name principal using this format:
Kerberos_Service_Name/Kerberos_Host_Name@Kerberos_Realm
For each client, the GSS libraries require the following format for the Vertica service principal:
Kerberos_Service_Name@Kerberos_Host_Name
You can omit the realm portion of the principal because GSS libraries use the realm name of the configured default (Kerberos_Realm) realm.
