HP SIM Kerberos Authentication

balcigo — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 09:13:30 GMT

Hello,

I'm using a specific service account for the Discovery and noticed on my Domain Controllers lot of NTLM authentication

I'd like to use kerberos as authentication protocol

I already tried smhconfig.exe -k True to enable Kerberos but still have lot of events regarding NTLM

Thank you for your help

Hello,

I only do a WBEM discovery for my donain controllers. This works just fine for me. Do you set sign-in credentials?

Just for monitoring purposes you do not need sign-in credentials.

Do gou have an example of the error you see?

Kind regards,

Andrew

Hi,

Thanks for your answer

The System Credentials configuration is SNMP/WBEM/Sign-in

I've enabled NTLM auditing on my DCs and that's how I found that the Discovery is using NTLM

Hello again,

If you delete the sign-in credentials do they get added again because the Sign-in credentials are globaly set?

This would happen if you run a datacollection or identify. You do not need sign-in credentials for just monitoring.

Kind regards,

Andrew
