kerberos

[Huub]

Hi,

I want to use kerberos on a server. Is this a service which just has to
be enabled, or do I have to download and install it first?

Thanks,

Huub

when talking about Windows machines you can only use kerberos on
Windows 2000 and up computers in an Active Directory forest. Those
machines in a AD forest will use kerberos by default. computers ar in
a NT4 domain NTLM will be used for authentication. If you have NT4
servers in a AD forest/domain, again NTLM will be used. Using Kerberos
or NTLM depends on the OS of the machines that talk to each other
WITHIN a AD forest and which of the two is the weakest link.

Ok, thanks. I've no experience with Windows servers, so I'll have to
start from te beginning with this.
