As previously detailed we have been busy working on a public (version 2) release of the SharePoint Kerberos Configuration Utility which has been used successfully on a number of customer engagements. We are aiming for a release the first week in February at the SharePoint Best Practices Conference.
Configuring a SharePoint Farm for Kerberos is very easy however there are a large number of variables which depend upon the farm characteristics and more importantly the business requirements. In addition there is a staggering amount of misinformation (such as needing delegation for simple authentication scenarios!!!) out there on blogs and so forth. Kerberos remains a topic for which there are many myths and customers have found it difficult to implement.
The idea of the utility is to automate the vast majority of Kerberos related configuration for a MOSS deployment.
This article walks through the User Interface of the utility in order to get feedback and suggestions for the version 2 release. Please leave comments here if you have feedback and/or suggestions
