From within SoftNAS, navigate to Settings >Identity and Access Control > Kerberos
Enter the required information into the Default Configuration text boxes.
Once done, click the Update Configuration button. This will update your /etc/krb5.conf file.

Verifying Kerberos is Functional

In the above example, AD.BUURST.QA is the full domain name.

Log in to a command shell using SSH, SoftNAS Console (VMware) or use the Command Shell.
To access the command shell from within the SoftNAS UI, navigate to Settings > General System Settings, which will open a new window with access to the full Webmin console.
Choose Others > Command Shell.
Once in the command shell, issue the following command to login:

kinit -p administrator

List the Kerberos ticket, which proves you successfully logged into AD using the following command:
```
klist
```

You should see something similar to the image to the right.
