Kerberos authentication from the cluster management console

Log on to your Windows cluster from the cluster management console by using Kerberos credentials.

• Log on as the Admin user and enter the password of the AD user mapped to the Admin user, as defined in the KERBEROS_ADMIN parameter.

  For example, with the egoadmin user (with password passwordegoadmin) set as the KERBEROS_ADMIN, complete the following steps:

  1. On the cluster management console login page, enter Admin as the User Name and enter passofegoadmin as the Password.
  2. Run the symping application to test workload. See Testing the cluster with Symping.
• Log on as an AD user who is assigned permissions to run commands or run applications.

  For example, to log on as user mguser in domain ad1, complete the following steps:

  1. Assign permissions for AD users to run commands or applications. For example, to set mguser as a read-only cluster administrator, enter:

     egosh user assignrole -u ad1\mguser -r "Cluster Admin (Read only)"

  2. Log on as the AD user. Ensure that you enter the domain of the user in the format domain\user; the user domain is required for all users except Admin.

     For example, to log on as user mguser (with password passwordmguser) in domain ad1, enter ad1\mguser as the User Name and enter passwordmguser as the Password.

  3. Run the symping application to test workload. See Testing the cluster with Symping.
