Enable Kerberos authentication for the RAP Output Adapter by setting the necessary environment variables and specifying the UseKerberos element.

  1. Set the following environment variables:
    1. Set the ESP_SERVICE_NAME environment variable to set the service principal name.

    3. Set the KRB5CCNAME environment variable to point to the ticket cache.
    4. Set the KRB5_CONFIG environment variable to point to the configuration file used by the Kerberos library.
