Adding realms

Edit online

Before you can add a realm to the IBM® i configuration, you need to configure the Kerberos server for the new realm. To add a realm to the IBM i network authentication service task, you need the realm name, the name of the Kerberos server, and the port on which it listens.

To add a realm to the network authentication service, follow these steps:

  1. In IBM Navigator for i, expand Security > Network Authentication Service.
  2. Click Realms and from the Actions menu select Add Realm.
  3. In the Realm to add field, enter the host name of the realm that you want to add.
    For example, a valid realm name might be: MYCO.COM.
  4. Enter the name of the Kerberos server for the realm that you are adding in the KDC field.
    For example, a valid name might be: kdc1.myco.com.
  5. Enter the port number on which the Kerberos server listens for requests. A valid port number can be 1-65535. The default port for the Kerberos server is 88.
  6. Click OK.
