Using Kerberos to access Windows file shares

A Linux / Ubuntu based FileMaker server sometimes needs to access data on a Windows file server. This is possible with the Windows NTLM username/password authentication. But NTLM is insecure and many companies do not tolerate it in their networks anymore.

I would like to show how to access files on a Windows server using Kerberos ticket based authentication and autofs. You will need to know your way around the Linux command line and have access to a Windows domain controller.

My notes for this talk for Kerberos and autofs.
