This article is about the configuration of Windows Server 2008 with Kerberos authentication. Kerberos is an integral part of Windows 2008 Active Directory implementations, and anyone planning to deploy and maintain the enterprise NoSQL database e.g. DataStax Enterprise must should have a basic knowledge of the principals and administrative issues involved in this front-line security technology.
If we want to configure Windows Server 2008 with Kerberos authentication we need to install: Web Server(IIS), DHCP Server, Active Directory Domain Server. Also, we should set static ip address, computer name, and configure all installed services. The following section will explain how to properly configure system for Kerebros authentication and install the necessary software.
1. Change computer name (server)
1.1. Click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
1.2. Under Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings, click Change settings.
1.3. Click the Computer Name tab, and then click Change.
1.4. Write down the computer name. For example we are using "cogserver02" , and then click “OK”.
1.5. Restart computer
1.1 Set static ip
For certain types of servers, you must assign a static IP address and subnet mask during or after Setup.
These servers include DHCP servers, DNS servers and any server providing access to users on the Internet. It is also recommended that you assign a static IP address and subnet mask for each domain controller.
To configure IPv4 for static addressing please do the following:
- Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet, click Network and Sharing Center and then click Change Adapter Settings.
- Right-click the connection to which you want to add a static IP address and then click Properties.
- Acknowledge the UAC dialog and then double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP/IPv4).
- Click Use the following IP address, and do one of the following:
- For a local area connection, in IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway, type the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway addresses.
- For all other connections, in IP address, type the IP address.
- Click Use the following DNS server addresses.
- In Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server, type the primary and secondary DNS server addresses.
To configure advanced static IPv4 address settings for a local area connection, click Advanced.
