Creating Kerberos initialization files

You must create a Kerberos initialization file and place it in a specific location on all computers with Application Tier Components installed. The Kerberos initialization file, krb5.conf is used by the JRE Kerberos protocol implementation.

For more information about Kerberos initialization files, see the MIT Kerberos Documentation (web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html).

Procedure

On all computers where you have Application Tier Components installed, copy the krb5.conf file to the JAVA_HOME/lib/security directory.

On computers running UNIX, copy the krb5.conf file to the /etc/krb5 directory.

On computers running Linux, copy the krb5.conf file to the /etc directory.

On computers running Microsoft Windows, copy the krb5.conf file to the C:\winnt directory, and rename it to krb5.ini
