Introduction to the Kerberos Login Method for NMAS

The Kerberos Login Method for Novell Modular Authentication Services^TM (NMAS) supports logging in to Novell^® eDirectory^TM using Kerberos credentials acquired from a KDC (Key Distribution Centre). This method plugs in to and makes use of the Novell NMAS infrastructure to support this Kerberos-based login.

The Kerberos Login Method for NMAS consists of the following components:

• NMAS Kerberos Login Server Method (Kerberos LSM): Installed on the eDirectory server that has the NMAS Server already installed.

• Novell Kerberos LDAP Extensions: Installed on all the servers that are used for administering the Kerberos Login Method for NMAS.

• iManager plug-in for NMAS Kerberos: Lets you manage the Kerberos objects and attributes. For more information, refer to the Kerberos Login Method for NMAS Quick Start Card.

• NMAS Kerberos Login Client Method (Kerberos LCM): Installed along with the Novell Client^TM and NMAS client on the Windows* workstations. This must be installed on each Windows workstation that will use the Kerberos Login Method for NMAS.
