Logging in with Kerberos credentials

Kerberos is an open-source computer network authentication protocol that uses tickets to verify the identity of users before allowing them to access network resources.

Your client host (your PC) is part of the same LDAP realm as the station.
  1. Launch Workbench and open a platform or station.
    If Workbench is able to acquire your native Kerberos credentials, it displays the Authentication window with credentials filled in.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If Workbench fills in your credentials with credentials from the LDAP server, click OK to log in.
    • If Workbench is unable to acquire your native Kerberos credentials from the LDAP server, it displays a simple login window.
    • To log in as a different LDAP user or as a local user, enter different credentials.
You are logged in using Kerberos authentication.
