Add Kerberos constrained delegation for file shares
The main difference between sharing files in File Share repositories, compared to sharing apps (for example,
Microsoft
SharePoint
), is that here the delegation is to the computer hosting the BEMS
instance account and not to the Docs
service process user, BEMSAdmin.- OpenMicrosoft Active Directory Users and Computers.
- In your domain, clickComputers.
- Right-click theBEMScomputer entry. ClickProperties.
- Click theDelegationtab.
- In theMicrosoft Active Directoryaccount properties, on theDelegationtab, select the following options:
- Trust this user for delegation to specified services only
- Use any authentication protocol
- ClickAdd, selectUsers or Computers, type in the name of the server whose file share needs access and clickOK.
- In the list of services, clickcifs. ClickOK.
- Repeat Step 3 to 6 for each server that has file shares needing access.
- Restart theBEMSserver. Since Kerberos tokens are cached, restarting theBEMSserver is the only way to make sure all delegation changes are received on the machines.
