Name

SYNOPSIS
Configure
Groups
List
Status
Unconfigure
Users
DESCRIPTION
You can use the Kerberos command to perform the following tasks:
Configure the appliance for NIS-Kerberos user authentication.
Add or remove one or more NIS user groups.
List all NIS users and user groups.
Add or remove one or more NIS users.
Unconfigure NIS-Kerberos user authentication for the appliance.
OPTIONS
The following commands and options are available under Authentication > Kerberos:
- Configure NIS <NisServer> <NisDomain> <KdcServer> <Realm> [Domain]
Configure the appliance for NIS-Kerberos user authentication.
Add and configure NIS-Kerberos user authentication with the following parameters.
NisSever - NIS server FQDN or IP.
NisDomain - NIS Domain.
KdcServer - KDC server FQDN or IP.
Realm - Kerberos default realm.
[Domain] - KDC domain(optional). The default value is none.
- Groups
Add or remove one or more NIS user groups. Only the user groups that already exist on the NIS server can be added to the appliance.
Use the Groups Add <groupname> command to add a comma-separated list of NIS user groups.
Use the Groups Remove <groupname> command to delete a comma-separated list of NIS user groups.
- List
List all of the NIS users and user groups that have been added to the appliance.
- Status
View the status of NIS-Kerberos authentication on the appliance.
- Unconfigure
Unconfigure NIS-Kerberos user authentication for the appliance.
Note:
Before you unconfigure the NIS-Kerberos server, you must revoke the roles from all of the NIS users that have been added to the appliance. Otherwise the operation fails.
Warning:
Unconfiguring NIS-Kerberos user authentication disables and deletes the current NIS-Kerberos configuration. The NIS users are deleted from the appliance, but not from the NIS server.
- Users
Add or remove one or more NIS users. Only the users that already exist on the NIS server can be added to the appliance.
Use the Users Add <username> command to add a comma-separated list of NIS users.
Use the Users Remove <username> command to delete a comma-separated list of NIS users.
Note:
As a matter of best practice, you should delete a registered user or user group from the appliance before deleting it from the LDAP server, AD server, or NIS server. If a user is removed from the remote directory service first (and not removed from appliance), the user is listed as a registered user on the appliance but won't be able to log on.
