Identifies the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service used to authenticate the user. (SPNEGO or Windows authentication only).

Syntax

Connect-Avro -KerberosKDC string

Data Type

cstr

Default Value

""

Remarks

The Kerberos properties are used when using SPNEGO or Windows Authentication. The cmdlet requests session tickets and temporary session keys from the Kerberos KDC service, which is usually co-located with the domain controller.

If KerberosKDC is not specified, the cmdlet tries to detect these properties automatically from the following locations:

• KRB5 Config File (krb5.ini/krb5.conf): If the KRB5_CONFIG environment variable is set and the file exists, the cmdlet obtains the KDC from the specified file. If it is not found there, the cmdlet tries to read from the default MIT location based on the OS: C:\ProgramData\MIT\Kerberos5\krb5.ini (Windows) or /etc/krb5.conf (Linux).
• Domain Name and Host: If the Kerberos Realm and Kerberos KDC cannot be inferred from another location, the cmdlet infers them from the configured domain name and host.
