Windows 2000 Kerberos Interoperability

Author: Christopher Nebergall Published Jan. 4, 2011 from SANS

While other papers discuss Kerberos in general or the Windows 2000 implementation, this work explores compatibility issues between traditional Unix implementations and Microsoft s implementation. First discussed will be Microsofts support of the official Kerberos V5 standard RFC 1510. Next discussed will be how to configure a Windows 2000 network to work with a UNIX Kerberos implementation in a variety of common scenarios, and finally this work discusses extensions to the Kerberos standard that Microsoft has documented in a number of Internet Drafts. Overall Microsoft s Kerberos implementation is proving itself to be interoperable in all common scenarios.
