  1. Open an Internet Explorer window.
  2. Using the menu bar, click Tools > Internet Options.
    The Internet Options window opens.
  3. Click the Security tab and select the Local intranet zone.
  4. Click Sites > Advanced.
    The Add a website to this zone window opens.
  5. Type in the URL for a station and click Add.
    http://host1.domain.com
    where host1.domain.com is the station’s URL.

    If you have multiple stations to add, continue typing in URLs and clicking Add.

  6. To return to the Security tab, click Close > OK.
  7. With the Local intranet zone selected, click the Custom level... button.
    The Security Settings — Local intranet window opens.
  8. To use Kerberos authentication without a prompt, scroll down to the User Authentication section (near the bottom), and click to enable Automatic logon only in Intranet zone.
    If you prefer to be prompted, enable Prompt for user name and password.

Internet Explorer should now be ready for Kerberos authentication and you should be able to log in to stations without being prompted for a user name and password.
