Kerberos keytab part-1
Setting up Kerberos authentication for a Java service is a multi-step process, and the first step is getting a service account from your Windows/Active Directory team. This post covers what to ask for and what you’ll receive back — the domain name, service account name, and password you’ll need for the subsequent steps.
Request for service account
A service account is a user account that is created explicitly
to provide a security context for services running on Windows Server operating systems.
The security context determines the service’s ability to access local and network resources.
The Windows operating systems rely on services to run various features.
These services can be configured through the applications, the Services snap-in, or Task Manager, or by using Windows PowerShell.
Once done you will receive
- Domain Name : dummydomain
- Service Account Name : myserviceaccount
- Service Account Password : afk1K2##$#dlkajsf
