Active Directory and the Identity Server must be configured to use a Network Time Protocol server. If time is not synchronized, authentication fails.

The Access Manager prerequisites have been met for Kerberos authentication. For a list, see Prerequisites in the Configuring Advanced Local Authentication Procedures chapter of the Novell Access Manager 3.1 SP1 Identity Server Guide.
