Kerberos on Windows for Putty

Kerberos on Windows for Putty

Uninstall Putty and Kerberos First

If you've tried to already, remove any MIT Kerberos instances you've installed already. If you've installed the 64-bit version of Putty, uninstall that as well. You may have to reboot your computer, do that before proceeding with this guide.

Install Putty

Note: Only the 32-bit versions of both Putty and Kerberos work from my testing.

Go to the Putty Download Page and install the latest 32-bit version of the MSI Installer

Install Kerberos

Go to MIT Kerberos Distribution page and install the 32-bit version of MIT Kerberos for Windows 4.1

It will ask you to reboot your computer, do that.

Get a Ticket and Connect

Okay, the last step. Kerberos should open by default, if not click on the Kerberos icon on the desktop. (I don't recommend using the command line version).

Kerberos may try and figure out the domain, and it will probably get it wrong. Type in the username@DOMAIN.TLD - don't leave out the domain.

Now, go to putty and make sure to check the two checkboxes here under Auth,

Once that's done, you should be able to connect.
