What is Kerberos v5?
Rating:
Kerberos v5 is an authentication method used by Windows operating systems to authenticate users and network services. Windows 2000/2003 and XP clients and servers use Kerberos v5 as the default authentication method. Kerberos has replaced the NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication method, which was less secure. Kerberos uses mutual authentication to verify both the identity of the user and network services. The Kerberos authentication process is transparent to the users.
