Syntax

Connect-CSV -KerberosKDC string

Data Type

cstr

Default Value

""

Remarks

The Kerberos properties are used when using SPNEGO or Windows Authentication. The cmdlet will request session tickets and temporary session keys from the Kerberos KDC service. The Kerberos KDC service is conventionally colocated with the domain controller.

If Kerberos KDC is not specified, the cmdlet will attempt 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 will obtain the KDC from the specified file. Otherwise, it will attempt 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 could not be inferred from another location, the cmdlet will infer them from the configured domain name and host.
