Strong Authentication at Fermilab
(old version)
 This is the previous version, from 2003. The manual has been updated as of January 2005. Go to updated manual.
Strong authentication is a form
of computer security in which the identities of networked users, clients and
servers are verified without transmitting passwords over the network.
The Kerberos Network Authentication
Service V5is the network authentication program that Fermilab uses to
implement strong authentication. In addition to establishing identity
(authentication), it supports encrypted network connections, thereby providing
confidentiality.
All computer users at Fermilab
have a responsibility to understand the
broad outlines of Fermilab's
Strong Authentication policy, and to comply with the policy.
