The Kerberos protocol is used to authenticate central network services on campus. Authentication against Kerberos can take place on PC workstations during login or in a user session. The Kerberos ticket obtained in this way enables passwordless access to services such as e-mail, web authentication (Web Trust Center), AFS storage services and secure shell connections to compute servers and acts as a single sign-on.
As part of the increase in IT security, authentication using Kerberos will only be supported within the campus network from April 4, 2023.
A VPN connection must be set up to use central IT services with authentication based on Kerberos from the Internet. Changes to the configuration of the clients are not necessary.
