    Edit the Kerberos configuration file

    The Kerberos configuration file must include the settings for UCONN servers:
    [realms]

     UCONN.EDU = {

            kdc = kerberos.uconn.edu

            admin_server = kadmin.uconn.edu

     }


    On Windows, the krb5.ini is located in a hidden directory, c:\ProgramData\MIT\Kerberos5
    In Unix, the file is located in /etc
    Create or edit the existing one and include the realms section.
