I’ve been working with a client this week getting Kerberos working on their SharePoint farm. As you would expect I spent most of my time working out what SPN’s needed to be created.

I created a simple little tool that will help you sort out the basic SPN’s:  SharePoint Kerberos SPN Creation Tool

The idea is that you enter the details about your farm and the tool will generate the SPN’s that you need to create (you can copy / paste from this site into your console window).

The client I was working with had a much more complex farm that included reporting services, analysis services and proxy servers that all needed SPN’s, this tool doesn’t cover those types of farms, but it will help you get the base portal services up and running, then you can work out what SPN’s to create in order to get the rest of the services functioning.

Don’t forget that you’ll also need to set up delegation for each of the accounts. By far the best SharePoint Kerberos reference is: http://blogs.msdn.com/martinkearn/archive/2007/04/23/configuring-kerberos-for-sharepoint-2007-part-1-base-configuration-for-sharepoint.aspx
