Chapter 9. Case Study

In the previous eight chapters, we examined the technical details behind the Kerberos system, and how to implement Kerberos in your network. Now, in this chapter, we will take a step back and examine a hypothetical organization that wants to implement a network-wide single-sign-on solution. This organization has chosen to use Kerberos. We describe the decision process as the necessary Kerberos realms are created and implemented. The example includes many of the decision processes that apply to organizations implementing Kerberos in their own networks.
