Macintosh Kerberos 5 Client

OSX comes with it's own implementation of Kerberos that works quite well with our environment. Grab our version of edu.mit.Kerberos which goes in /Library/Preferences/ and you may also want to get the OS X Kerberos Extras which will help get Fetch and Eudora working.

After installing the edu.mit.Kerberos configuration file, you will still need to configure which Kerberos realm you wish to authenticate with. Run the Kerberos Application to configure the realms that show up in the popup list:

/Applications/Utilities/Kerberos

Then from the "Edit" menu select "Edit Favorite Realms...". This should give you a window with a very short list on the left (ATHENA.MIT.EDU) and a long list on the right that contains NCSA.EDU as well as a ton of others. Find NCSA.EDU in the list, select it, and then click the "Add" button.

From the Get Tickets "virtual window" you should now be able to select NCSA.EDU as a realm to aquire tickets.
