Can you set Kerberos AAA server via session variable?
Folks,
I am looking to setup Kerberos so folks do not need to keep entering their credentials and have been doing some testing. I have a couple test policies setup and assigned to their own VIP. each policy I have configured a Service account and created a keytab file specifically for the vip it relates to. Inside the policy I have the specific kerberos AAA server defined which has the keytab file linked to it. I have been able to get the policies to work as expected and the clients pick up the keberos ticket and successfully authenticate.
The challenge I face is that we have an awful lot of vips and tend to share logon policies and do not want to have a logon policy per app so I am looking for a way to keep it as simple as possible.
I tried in vain to create a *.domain keytab and spn and that didn't work, I have tried and succeeded adding multiple keytabs together and while it did work, the volume of apps, I'll mess it up somewhere and it would be impractical
the theory I have is that if I made an ad service account per app, create a keytab per app, create a kerberos AAA server per app with the name of the AAA server the same as the vip, I could create a common logon policy, read the variable of what VIP I am trying to access, use that variable as the kerberos AAA server name and have the logon process check against that SPN.
thoughts?? is there a more simple way of doing this?
