Kerberos
Because this website uses an older two-step authentication method, when you download the software you might not see the updated version of the two-step authentication screens.
Kerberos provides secure authentication for various services at Stanford, such as Stanford OpenAFS.
- For Windows, a utility called Network Identity Manager provides the graphical user interface for managing Kerberos functions.
- For Mac, Kerberos is built in to Mac OS X.
