server_name

Notes

  • In a Kerberos configuration, the value of the HostName property must match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) registered with the KDC. The FQDN consists of a host name and a domain name. For the example myserver.test.com, myserver is the host name and test.com is the domain name.
  • In a Kerberos configuration, an IP address cannot be used for the HostName connection property.
