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 OpenText™ Analytics Database 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 database 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.
