This document describes the use of Kerberos as an alternative authentication mechanism to AIX® using Windows® 2000/2003 Server Kerberos Service (We shall use the terms AIX and AIX 5L interchangeably). Authentication applications on AIX do not require any change to alternatively perform Kerberos authentication as it is woven into the fabric of the AIX security subsystem. By utilizing the loadable identification and authentication framework of AIX, the system directs authentication requests to use Kerberos instead of standard UNIX® authentication.
