A strong, secure network authentication protocol is crucial to all modern computing infrastructures. Whether your users are sending login information over the Internet, a corporate intranet, or a wireless LAN—or conducting ad hoc peer-to-peer communications—opportunities for malicious users to gain access to protected data must be avoided. While security is vitally important, your users need the convenience of entering their passwords just once in order to gain access to systems and services such as websites, file shares, and printers. To address the need for Single Sign-On (SSO) while safeguarding critical data and passwords, Mac OS X implements Kerberos, the open-source, SSO authentication protocol.

In this free online seminar, you will receive in-depth information and demonstrations from expert Apple Consulting Engineering Manager Joel Rennich. He will personally guide you through how Kerberos is implemented in Mac OS X to enable SSO in managed and peer-to-peer environments.

You will learn:

• How Kerberos works using Key Distribution Centers (KDCs), Ticket Granting Tickets, and Ticket Granting Services to enable SSO user authentication and secure access to services without exchanging sensitive password information
  
• Gain a working knowledge of how Mac OS X uniquely supports highly secure peer-to-peer communications between anonymous machines using local KDCs and Public Key Cryptography for Initial Authentication (PKINIT)
  
• Background on how local KDCs built into Mac OS X can coexist with and complement managed realms such as Active Directory or Open Directory
