Configuring Integrated Windows Authentication

1. On the Active Directory Domain Controller server, click Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. Right-click the domain entry in the treeview where you want to create the new SPN account and select New > User.
3. Enter the requested information and click Next.

5. Click Finish.

1. On the Active Directory Domain Controller server, open a command prompt and change directories to the directory where ktpass.exe is located.

   The default location is c:\Program Files\Support Tools.

2. To map the authentication service to the SPN account, enter the following keypass command:

   ktpass /out filename /princ name /pass password /mapuser local_username /ptype principal_type /crypto encryption_type

For ktpass syntax, see Microsoft Ktpass reference.

ktpass /out 'C:\ax.keytab' /princ HTTP/axserver.ax.com@AX.COM /pass pass1234 /mapuser AXSSO /ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL /crypto RC4-HMAC-NT

1. On the Active Directory Domain Controller server, open a command prompt and change directories to the directory where setspn.exe is located.

   The default location is c:\Program Files\Support Tools.

2. To register the SPN, enter the following setspn command:

   setspn -A ACLSE/full_domain_and_servernamecomputer_name

   Note

   ACLSE is the required value to identify AX Connector and must be entered in all caps. The computer_name value can be entered as name or domain\name.

3. Optional. To verify the mapping of the SPN account, use the following setspn command:

   setspn -L computer_name

setspn -A ACLSE/axserver.acl.com axserver

Prerequisite: Add the Java bin subfolder to your path environment variable to use the klist command without specifying the full path.

set PATH=java_bin_path;%PATH%

1. On the Active Directory Domain Controller server, copy the .keytab file you created with the ktpass command and paste it in the Windows directory of AX Server.
2. In the Windows directory of AX Server, create a file called krb5.ini.
3. From the command prompt, usethe following command to verify that the keytab file can be read:

   klist -k

4. To attempt to authenticate, use the following command:

   kinit username@REALM.COM

5. Enter the user's password and press Enter.

[libdefaults]
ticket_lifetime = 24000
default_realm = <domain>
default_keytab_name = <path_to_keytab_file>
dns_lookup_realm = false
dns_lookup_kdc = false
default_tkt_enctypes = rc4-hmac
default_tgs_encrypes = rc4-hmac [realms]
<domain> = {
  kdc = <adserver.domain.com>:88
} 
[domain_realm]
<.domain> = <DOMAIN>
<domain> = <DOMAIN>
