About Kerberos Auth

A Kerberos Auth action retrieves user credentials using a Kerberos ticket.

Note: In an access policy, an HTTP 401 Response action typically precedes a Kerberos Auth action.

A Kerberos Auth action provides these configuration elements and options:

AAA Server: Specifies a Kerberos server; servers are defined in the Access > Authentication area of the Configuration utility.
Request Based Auth: Specifies whether per request based authentication is enabled. When disabled, authentication occurs only while executing the access policy.
Max Logon Attempts Allowed: Specifies the number of user authentication logon attempts to allow. A complete logon and password challenge and response is considered as one attempt.
Note: For a per-request policy subroutine, equivalent functionality is supported through subroutine settings.
