Kerberos Authentication

Kerberos is a protocol designed to allow secure authentication over a non-secure network. Pitt IT provides the Kerberos 5 realm UNIV.PITT.EDU to all University users for use in applications, logging on to workstations and servers, or any other service that supports Kerberos authentication.
