of the KVM/net and connected devices know the passwords assigned to the
accounts:

• If Kerberos authentication is specified for the KVM/net, accounts for all
users who need to log in to the KVM/net to administer connected devices.
• If Kerberos authentication is specified for KVM ports, accounts for users
who need administrative access to connected devices
1. Make sure an entry for the KVM/net and the Kerberos server exist in the
KVM/net’s /etc/hosts file.
a. Go to Configuration>Network>Host Table in Expert mode.
The “Host Table” form appears.
b. Add an entry for KVM/net if none exists and an entry for the Kerberos
server.

The “New/Modify Host” dialog appears.

Kerberos authentication depends on time synchronization. Time and date
synchronization can be achieved by setting both to use the same NTP
server.
a. To specify an NTP server, follow the procedure under “To Set The
Time and Date With NTP” on page 270.
b. To customize a timezone on KVM/net, follow “Creating a Custom
Timezone Selection” on page 272.
c. Work with the authentication server’s administrator to synchronize the
time and date between the KVM/net and the server.

Expert mode, as per the following figure. The default is GMT.
