API Gateway 7.5.3 Kerberos Integration Guide Save PDF Selected topic Selected topic and subtopics All content API Management Versions 7.5.X And 7.6.X Reached End Of Support In November 2020. Please Contact Axway Support To Discuss Which Options Are Available To You. Demo setup: API Gateway as both Kerberos client and service For demonstration purposes, or to test configuring Kerberos authentication, you can configure API Gateway to act both as Kerberos client (DemoClient) and Kerberos service (DemoService). This configuration is not suitable for production environment. This is the most straight-forward setup to get started with Kerberos authentication in API Gateway. You configure API Gateway to act as a Kerberos client and authenticate to API Gateway that acts as a Kerberos service. You can do this configuration using a single API Gateway instance, or two API Gateway instances in different groups. The example in this guide uses a single API Gateway instance. The Kerberos client and service principals do not use selectors, so the same client principal (DemoClient@AXWAY.COM) always authenticates to the same service principal (DemoService@AXWAY.COM). Prerequisites Before you start configuration, you must have API Gateway installed on any machine with access to the Windows Domain Controller. The machine does not have to be a Windows machine that is part of the Windows Domain. Configuration process The configuration process has the following steps: Configure Active Directory Configure Kerberos principals Configure API Gateway to act as the Kerberos client Configure a Kerberos client Configure a Kerberos profile for the Kerberos client Configure a client-side policy Configure Kerberos system settings Configure API Gateway to act as the Kerberos service Configure a Kerberos service Configure a service-side policy Example names In this example, the Kerberos client DemoClient@AXWAY.COM connects to the Kerberos service DemoService@AXWAY.COM. You can use the example names, or replace them with names of your own. The example Kerberos realm name AXWAY.COM is specific to the examples in this guide. Replace the example realm name with your own realm name. Related Links
