Hi Chad, can you please provide some source content on how to configure Kerberos authentication? 

IIUC the affected section is:
* 4.7. Managing Users

http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/2/html-single/Management_Console_Installation_Guide/index.html

Thank you!
Comment 3 Chad Roberts 2012-11-16 19:42:47 UTC 
To enable Kerberos authentication in cumin, you will need to make the following changes in /etc/cumin/cumin.conf.

[web]
auth: kerb #multiple values separated by semicolons if you also need ldap authentication
kerberos_server: <your kerberos server address>
kerberos_realm: <your kerberos realm>
Comment 4 Chad Roberts 2012-11-20 15:30:42 UTC 
Additional information:

In order to be able to use kerberos authentication, the python-kerberos package is required (currently unavailable in el5).
Comment 5 Chad Roberts 2012-12-03 18:09:34 UTC 
Update:  kerberos_server is no longer required (it is looked-up against values in krb5.conf at runtime using the kerberos_realm as the key)

[web]
auth: kerb #multiple values separated by semicolons if you also need ldap authentication
kerberos_realm: <your kerberos realm>
