Kerberos is a computer network authentication protocol that works on the basis of
'tickets' to allow endpoints communicating over a non-secure network to prove their
identity
to one another in a secure manner.
When users request Internet content, they are prompted to enter their network
credentials. Kerberos authentication uses a Kerberos server as a central secure password
store. Therefore, the benefit of using Kerberos is that it provides a higher degree
of
security. After the user's credentials are authenticated with a Kerberos Server, a
special
encrypted "ticket" certified by the Kerberos server is used to access TMWS and the Internet.

NoteWhen users are configured with Kerberos authentication, non-browser applications that
do
not support Kerberos authentication on their client devices will fail.
