Going forward, MIT will operate MIT Kerberos development and maintenance as an Institute-funded open source project and will no longer seek external funding for these activities. To that end, we are pleased to announce the following updates: With the ensuing scope expansion and associated rebranding as the MIT Kerberos and Internet Trust Consortium (KIT), the consortium has likewise seen success researching and championing new digital identity standards.Īs these dual-streams of work have progressed, it has become clear that there is a need for changing how we organize our work around these two activities to provide greater focus on both the long-term maintenance of the widely used MIT Kerberos implementation and the exploration of up-and-coming research activities in the area of digital identity. Since its founding in 2007, the consortium has enjoyed great success, establishing Kerberos as one of the Internet's standard security protocols and enhancing the MIT Kerberos reference implementation with thousands of improvements. We are writing today to provide an update on the status of the MIT KIT Consortium and to announce plans and paths forward for future activities. Safari works out of the box if you've created a Kerberos ticket as outlined in step 1 FireFox just needs a couple settings configured on the about:config page.Dear MIT Kerberos & Internet Trust (KIT) Consortium Members, The asterisk is a wildcard, so any subdomain would work. Also, for the Chrome defaults, you can add multiple domains with commas separating each.

In all the above examples, replace '' with your domain. > **2019 Update**: For newer versions of Chrome (~68+), you might need to use the same commands above, but without the double quotes. $ defaults write AuthNegotiateDelegateWhitelist '*.' $ defaults write AuthServerWhitelist '*.' In the Terminal, run the following commands:

Configure Chrome's whitelist to allow authentication against any domains you will be using (along with the domain you used with kinit above).

See this article for more detailed instructions.

Create a Kerberos ticket with the Ticket Viewer application (/System/Library/CoreServices/Ticket Viewer) or via the command line ( kinit then enter your password).

You need to do two things before you can use Kerberos for authentication in Chrome/FireFox: Kerberos is built into Mac OS X as well, but isn't as simple to use and configure with Chrome and FireFox as it is with Explorer on a Windows workstation. Kerberos v5 is baked into Windows and Internet Explorer and works great with many LDAP-enabled services (for example, Drupal's LDAP module allows includes a submodule for SSO support). Kerberos authentication allows your computer to log into certain services automatically without you having to enter (and re-enter) your password (it's a SSO-single sign-on-service).
