Domain Security Changes

Effective in version 9.6.0, mmcmd has the following changes related to domain security:

Environment Variables: You might have to configure environment variables to run mmcmd. If the domain uses Kerberos authentication, you must set the KRB5_CONFIG environment variable on your system or in the mmcmd batch file. If secure communication is enabled for the domain, you must set the INFA_TRUSTSTORE and INFA_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD environment variables in the mmcmd batch file.
Previously, you did not have to configure environment variables for mmcmd.

Command Options: All mmcmd commands that authenticate with the domain contain options related to Kerberos authentication. You must specify the options if the domain uses Kerberos authentication.
The following table describes the command options:
