Specifies the realm of the Kerberos server principal and enable Kerberos authenticated connections to the database server.

Syntax

{ dbsrv11 | dbeng11 } -kr server-realm ...

Applies to

All operating systems except Windows Mobile.

Remarks

This option specifies the realm of the Kerberos server principal. Normally, the principal used by the database server for Kerberos authentication is server-name@default-realm, where default-realm is the default realm configured for the Kerberos client. Use this option if you want the server principal to use a different realm than the default realm, in which case the server principal used is server-name@server-realm.

Specifying this option enables Kerberos authentication to the database server.
