Non-member Windows Workstations

You can connect a non-member Windows 2000/XP workstation, such as a laptop, to resources on the LSCRNT server via CAMPUS domain authentication using your CalNetID. Download Kerberos.reg and double click it to install settings in your registry to point you to the BERKELEY.EDU (CalNet) realm.

When you are asked if you are sure if you want to add the settings to your registry, click Yes. You must have local administrator rights to install the settings. If you have Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed, you must also install SP2.reg , which configures additional settings.

Now you can connect to the share via Start, Run, and then the path to the share (\\ls.berkeley.edu\department server share). When you are asked for a username and password, type in calnetid@BERKELEY.EDU, replacing "calnetid" with your personal CalNet ID number. Alternatively, you can mount the share and assign it a drive letter by going to My Computer, selecting the "Tools" drop down menu, and then "Map Network Drive." Click on "Connect using a different user name" and use the calnetid@BERKELEY.EDU convention stated above.

Connecting to a Windows Share from a Macintosh without AD binding

This section describes how to receive a Kerberos ticket from the BERKELEY.EDU (CalNet) realm manually.

• Place the edu.mit.kerberos file in /Library/Preferences. If you already have a kerberos file here, make sure to create a backup copy.
• Launch the built-in Kerberos Application. This can be found in /System/Library/CoreServices/Kerberos. If you need to connect to your file server often, you may want to put a copy of it in your dock.
• You should see a window with no active user and a blue button for "Get Tickets." Press this button or hit the return key.
• You should now have a window and fields for Name, Realm, and Password. If this has been used before, the last user and realm should already be listed. For "Name," use your CalnetID. For "Realm" use BERKELEY.EDU, and for " password" use your CalNet Passphrase.
• After the password has been entered, hit return or the blue "OK" button. The login window will disappear and you should see a ticket in the initial Kerberos Window with how much time is left on the ticket (9 hours 59 minutes.)
• Now you are ready to connect to your Windows server. From Finder, choose 'Go', then 'Connect to to Server.'
• Type in the name of the server/volume you want to connect to. For example, the syntax would be cifs://ls..berkeley.edu/SYSVOL (substitute campus.berkeley.edu/SYSVOL with your server name and share).
