Using Custom Kerberos Config Files

This is especially important for Windows-based Automic Automation Intelligence server. By default the Kerberos configuration files are searched at the default locations, such as on Linux at /etc/krb5.conf, on Unix at /etc/krb5/ krb5.conf, on Windows at c:\winnt\krb5.ini. If the files are not available there, or if you want to use a different Kerberos configuration, then you will have to create and copy the Kerberos configuration file to the Automic Automation Intelligence server. For example, on Linux create a file called /opt/Terma/JAWS/krb/krb5.conf, or on Windows create C:\JAWS\krb\krb5.conf.

Next, communicate the changes to the Automic Automation Intelligence server. To do this, modify the vmoptions file in the directory from where you are starting the Automic Automation Intelligence application. Add the following line to the vmoptions file:

  • For Linux:Djava.security.krb5.conf=/opt/Terma/JAWS/krb/krb5.conf

  • For Windows: -Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\JAWS\krb\krb5.conf

Restart Automic Automation Intelligence for this parameter to take effect.
