DESCRIPTION
The Kerberos delegation configuration acts like a proxy for Kerberos credentials. When connecting to a server
that is inside its domain, the browser client fetches Kerberos credentials known as delegated credentials.
These credentials are passed on to the system. Once the system has these credentials, it retrieves credentials
for the RealServer(r) that is on the back end, and passes those credentials back.
Each user is assigned a unique cookie that describes a session on the system. This cookie is encrypted in a
cookie key.
To configure a Kerberos authentication module and create a Kerberos configuration object:
1. Use the kerberos-delegation component in the ltm auth module to create a Kerberos configuration object.
2. Use the profile component, in the ltm auth module, to create an authentication profile in which you specify
the following options:
a. For the configuration option, specify the Kerberos configuration object that you created in Step 1.
b. For the defaults-from option, specify a parent profile (either the default Kerberos profile named
krbdelegate or another custom Kerberos profile that you created).
EXAMPLES
create kerberos-delegation my_kerberos-delegation_config client-principal client.net server-principal
server.net
Creates a Kerberos delegation profile named my_kerberos-delegation_config.
list kerberos-delegation all-properties
Displays all properties for all Kerberos delegation profiles.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the profile belongs. The default value is none.
Note: If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
modify or delete the profile. Only the application service can modify or delete the profile.
client-principal
Specifies the principal that the client sees. This is usually a value such as HTTP/. This principal
may be in a different domain from the server principal. This option is required. There is no default
value.
debug-logging
Specifies whether the system logs debugging actions. The default value is disabled.
description
User defined description.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and
modify.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which this profile resides.
protocol-transition
Specifies whether associated virtual should transition client certificate authentication into Kerberos
credentials.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
server-principal
Specifies the principal of the back-end web server. This is usually a value such as HTTP/. This may be in a different domain from the server principal. This setting is required. There is
no default value.
