    Question:


    We're running a Web Agent to offer Kerberos Authentication Scheme. We'd like to know if it is
    supported to have 2 Kerberos Authentication Scheme on the same Web Agent ? The Web Agent acts as cookie provider.

     

    We'd like to know also if this has been tested internally.

     

    Answer:


    At first glance, as this is not a scenario offered in the
    documentation, that might work having probably some customization. As
    you know, we provide out of the box configuration of Kerberos Authentication Scheme.

    You should note that we support multiple Kerberos Domains in the same
    krb5.conf file. As such, having different instances of Web Agents, you
    might probably be able to achieve your goals.

    In order to have more concrete experience feedback about this, we
    strongly suggest you to consult CA Services. This team manage to do
    implementation of CA Single Sign-On in companies, and as such, they
    are the best positioned to tell you if this specific setting has once
    been implemented successfully.

    But here I cannot guarantee you 100% that this will work. In order to
    get this setting fully QA'd, we'd like you to open and Idea on the
