Create a Kerberos configuration file
Step 2: Set up Kerberos as the authentication mechanism for WAS JAX-WSThe IBM implementation of the Java Generic Security Service (JGSS) and KRB5 require a Kerberos configuration file (krb5.conf or krb5.ini) on each node or JVM. In this release of WAS, this configuration file should be placed in the config/cells/ <cell_name> directory so that all application servers can access this file. If you do not have a Kerberos configuration file, use a wsadmin.sh command to create one.
