On our corporate intranet Kerberos authentication is used on many sites and I just want to enable kerberos on Ubuntu so I can benefit from it while using the browser (Chrome or Firefox).

The computer is already configured to use NIS authentication and the username and password used to login are the same as the ones from Active Directory.

Searching online for Kerberos and Ubuntu slowed only pages about how to setup the server part, which in my case does not apply.

Are you sure that those same sites don't require Internet Explorer to operate/authenticate properly? I have a friend in corporate IT and one of his most frequent gripes is that he's stuck with Internet Explorer due to the way some of their intranet sites authenticate. – Jeff Welling Apr 4 '12 at 12:05

IE supports kerberos works by default. On other browsers I see the HTTP AUTH dialog. – Sorin Sbarnea Apr 4 '12 at 13:31
