Last month, a colleague of mine sent a message to the Windows Higher Ed list asking about possible problems authenticating certain Microsoft applications to an external KDC. We're getting ready to roll out our very first campus-wide Active Directory environment, which will include Exchange 2007 and Microsoft SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. User accounts and other data will be populated into AD using Microsoft Identify Lifecycle Manager 2007. The plan, which thus far has worked successfully in test, is to store user passwords in our Heimdal KDC and force all authentications to occur through the external KDC
Several key departments have voiced concerns over whether or not web authentication to applications such as MOSS 2007, Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Citrix will work using an external KDC. We received a lot of good information from the Windows Higher Ed list, but I thought it might be valuable to get feedback from the folks who support external KDCs as well. Are there any major gotchas that those of us who support Kerberos or the Windows community at large should be aware of?
