Kerberos Authentication

Kerberos is a protocol designed to allow secure authentication over a non-secure network. Pitt IT provides the Kerberos 5 realm UNIV.PITT.EDU to all University users for use in applications, logging on to workstations and servers, or any other service that supports Kerberos authentication. This can be used to authenticate any University of Pittsburgh user with an active University Computing Account.
