We will only be detailing how to configure the Windows operating system to join an existing Kerberos realm. We are assuming that you already have FreeIPA set up and ready to use. This may be a good option if you already run a large Linux or Unix environment, but need to have a small amount of Windows servers capable of using the same centrally managed user accounts.
FreeIPA is an open-source project sponsored by Red Hat, which attempts to provide similar functionality to Active Directory for Linux and Unix systems.
It is possible to join Windows to a FreeIPA realm and then log into the Windows computer with an account from FreeIPA as it makes use of Kerberos for single sign on (SSO). In most cases Windows desktops or servers will typically be joined to a Windows domain controller running Microsoft’s Active Directory, however this is not the only option.
