Manage Kerberos settings

Settings for custom Kerberos key distribution center servers.

Kerberos is a distributed authentication service designed to provide strong authentication with secret-key cryptography. It works on the basis of "tickets" that allow nodes communicating over a non-secure network to prove their identity in a secure manner. When configured to act as a secure NFS server, the NAS server uses the RPCSEC_GSS security framework and Kerberos authentication protocol to verify users and services. You can configure a secure NFS environment for a multiprotocol NAS server or one that supports Unix-only shares. In this environment, user access to NFS file systems is granted based on Kerberos principal names.
