Authentication with Microsoft Active Directory Services and Kerberos

AE Services provides the ability to authenticate users using an external server such as Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) or OpenLDAP. If you use ADS, you can implement it with or without Kerberos. This section provides a sample scenario for integrating AE Services with ADS using Kerberos.

In a configuration with ADS and Kerberos, ADS is the AE Services authentication authority, and AE Services users are authenticated against a Domain Controller. This method of authentication requires integrating the AE Server into ADS as a Kerberos client (using Kerberos5).
