Parameters

Parameter

Description

<RealmName>

The realm name is stated as an uppercase DNS name, such as CORP.CONTOSO.COM.

Realm flag

Denotes one of the following flags:

  • SendAddress

  • TcpSupported

  • Delegate

  • NcSupported

  • RC4

Remarks

The realm flags specify additional features of a Kerberos realm that is not based on the Windows Server operating system. Computers that are running Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2 can use a Kerberos server to administer authentication instead of using a domain that is running a Windows Server operating system, and these systems participate in a Kerberos realm. This entry establishes the features of the realm. The following table describes each.

Realm flags are stored in the registry under **HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Domains\**RealmName. This entry does not exist in the registry by default. You can use the Ksetup:addrealmflags command to populate the registry.

You can see what realm flags are available and set by viewing the output of ksetup.
