3.3. Configuring Your Browser

Firefox can use your Kerberos credentials for authentication, but you need to specify which domains to communicate with, and using which attributes.

Procedure 3.3. To configure Firefox for use with Red Hat Enterprise IPA:
  1. Open Firefox, and type "about:config" in the Address Bar.

  2. In the Search field, type "negotiate".

  3. Ensure the following lines reflect your setup. Replace ".example.com" with your own IPA server's domain, including the preceding period (.):

    network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris  .example.com
    network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris  .example.com
    network.negotiate-auth.using-native-gsslib true
    

    • If you are configuring Firefox on Microsoft Windows, make the following changes instead:

      network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris  .example.com
      network.auth.use-sspi false
      

  4. In Firefox, navigate to the IPA server (use the fully-qualified domain name, for example, http://ipaserver.example.com). Ensure that there are no Kerberos authentication errors, and that you can see and interact with the Web interface.
