Before you begin

If you don't any have prior experience with the Kerberos protocol (RFC 1510 - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1510.txt), please read this article from Wikipedia first Kerberos (Protocol) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerberos_protocol

If you have already knowledge with Kerberos Constrained Delegation (KCD), you can move forward to the next section.

If not, please read the upcoming short and exhaustive paper - What is Kerberos Constrained Delegation (KCD), how it works, and why it's good for me

Please watch the video before implementing File Access SSO (in the Screencasts section)

Important to know!

Microsoft IAG server is the only SSLVPN product in the market today that provides secure access to internal File Shares with Smart Card or OTP authentication, and also performs:

  1. FULL Single-Sign-On (SSO)
  2. FULL Audit trail of the end user to the back-end servers (IIS, SQL, AD etc ...)
  3. Granular Access Controls per users/groups

Prerequisites

  1. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 must run in Native mode for the domain in which Kerberos Constrained Delegation (KCD) is configured
  2. You must raise each domain controller's domain level to Windows Server 2003 Domain Functional Level
  3. You must configure KCD on your IAG server
