Hi,
Could you please clarify me the following difference:
What is the difference between
- Primary Kerberos Server
- Backup Kerberos Server
- Secondary/Slave/Alternate KDC Server
While working on Kerberos configuration issues. I have come accross following terms. Could you please let me know thoughts on the above terms?
Is this statement true?
A secondary KDC provides a backup if the primary KDC becomes unavailable for any reason. Clients can be configured so that if no reply is obtained from the primary KDC, a secondary KDC is consulted.
Then what about Backup KDC server? What is the significance of that Backup Server?
Please let me know your opinion. Thanks.
Happy new year,
-Surendra
