clear kerberos clients mandatory

Use the clear kerberos clients mandatory command to disable mandatory Kerberos authentication for services on the network.

clear kerberos clients mandatory

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Kerberos clients are NOT set to mandatory.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

A user authenticated to a Kerberized switch has a ticket granting ticket (TGT) and can use it to authenticate to a host on the network. However, if forwarding is not enabled and a user tries to list credentials after authenticating to a host, the output will show no Kerberos credentials present.

You can optionally configure the switch to forward users' TGTs with them as they authenticate from the switch to Kerberized remote hosts on the network when using Kerberized Telnet.

As an added layer of security, you can optionally configure the switch so that after users authenticate to it, they can authenticate to other services on the network only with Kerberos clients. If you do not make Kerberos authentication mandatory and Kerberos authentication fails, the application attempts to authenticate users using the default method of authentication for that network service. For example, Telnet prompts for a password.

Examples

This example shows how to clear mandatory Kerberos authentication:

Console> (enable) clear kerberos clients mandatory 
Kerberos clients mandatory cleared
Console> (enable)
 

Related Commands

set kerberos clients mandatory
set kerberos credentials forward

clear kerberos credentials forward

Use the clear kerberos credentials forward command to disable credentials forwarding.

clear kerberos credentials forward

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

Forwarding is disabled by default.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

A user authenticated to a Kerberized switch has a ticket granting ticket (TGT) and can use it to authenticate to a host on the network. However, if forwarding is not enabled and a user tries to list credentials after authenticating to a host, the output will show no Kerberos credentials present.

You can optionally configure the switch to forward users' TGTs with them as they authenticate from the switch to Kerberized remote hosts on the network when using Kerberized Telnet.

Examples

This example shows how to disable Kerberos credentials forwarding:

Console> (enable) clear kerberos credentials forward 
Kerberos credentials forwarding disabled
Console> (enable) 

Related Commands

set kerberos credentials forward
set kerberos clients mandatory

clear kerberos creds
