CalNet Kerberos Auth

CalNet Kerberos Auth installs software which allows you to use your CalNet ID and password to securely identify ("authenticate") yourself from certain Macintosh programs to selected online services at UC Berkeley. You can do this when both the Macintosh programs and campus online services you are using support an authentication method known as "Kerberos."

This method of connecting protects your CalNet ID and password from being exposed. In addition, you will only need to enter your CalNet ID and password once, after which you can repeatedly connect to Kerberos-enabled online services without having to re-enter your ID and password, until your Kerberos session is closed or expires.
