On Mac OS X Server, place the edu.mit.Kerberos configuration file in /Library/Preferences/.
This file is not sensitive, so it can be placed on a guest-accessible volume.

This file must also reside in /Library/Preferences/ in the home directory of users you want to
authenticate using Kerberos.

Enable individual services (mail, AFP, and FTP) and clients (login window, AFP client, mail
client) to support Kerberos authentication.

Make sure that users you want authenticated using Kerberos are in the search path of the
server hosting the Kerberized services.

Enabling Kerberos Authentication for Mail

Use Server Settings to enable mail server support for Kerberos. See “Requiring or Allowing
Kerberos Authentication” on page 381 for details.

Kerberos V5 authentication. Also make sure that edu.mit.Kerberos resides in /Library/
Preferences/ on the user’s computer.

Enabling Kerberos Authentication for AFP

Use Server Settings to enable AFP server support for Kerberos. See Chapter 5, “File Services,”
for details.

AFP client has no special requirements beyond access to /Library/Preferences/
edu.mit.Kerberos.

Enabling Kerberos Authentication for FTP

Use Server Settings to enable FTP server support for Kerberos. See Chapter 5, “File Services,”
for details.

Enabling Kerberos Authentication for Login Window

In addition to access to /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos, login window depends on
these settings in /etc/authorization:
