How to Configure Fetch 5.3 for Kerberos (Mac OS 10.3.x/10.4.x)

When you install Fetch from the PennConnect DVD or download it from Supported Products site, it has already been configured to FTP to Penn's server, origin.www.upenn.edu. If, however, you want to FTP to other servers, you can use the instructions below to add the new FTP site, then configure that site for the Kerberos environment.

Notes:

• Before configuring Fetch 5.3 to run in a Kerberos environment, check with your Local Support Provider (LSP) to ensure your School, department, or administrative unit supports Kerberos.
• Ensure Kerberos client software (Kerberos for Macintosh 5.2) is installed on your computer. If you are using Kerberos for Macintosh from behind a firewall or router, and/or you are connecting from off campus using a DSL or cable modem, you might need to also install the alternate configuration installer. More information is available on the PennKey web site at http://www.upenn.edu/computing/pennkey/use/firewall.html.

1. Start Fetch 5.3 from your Applications folder (Go → Applications → Fetch 5.3). The New Connection window displays. If the New Connection window is not visible, select New Connection... from the File menu.
   
   Notes: If you are asked to purchase the product or enter a serial number, click Not Yet to close the window. Also, click Not Now when asked to install the Fetch Wizard dashboard. You can install the dashboard later.
2. In the New Connection window, complete the following fields, and then click OK:
   • In the Hostname field, enter the hostname of the FTP site. For example, enter pobox.upenn.edu
     Note: If you are configuring for www.upenn.edu, enter origin.www.upenn.edu in the field.
   • In the Username field, enter your PennKey. For example, type ben
   • Select FTP with GSSAPI from the Connect Using dropdown list.
   • If you are configuring to access origin.www.upenn.edu, leave the Enable Encryption field blank. Otherwise, check with your Local Support Provider (LSP) on whether the server supports encryption.
3. Complete the advanced options fields as follows. If the advanced options fields aren't visible, click the down arrow.
   • If you are configuring to access a specific directory on origin.www.upenn.edu, add the directory name after /usr/local/ftp/html/ in the Initial Folder field field. Otherwise, enter the complete URL of the directory that you are authorized to access.
   • If you are configuring for origin.www.upenn.edu, leave the Port field blank. Otherwise, enter the port number that you connect to.
   • In the Try to Connect Times field, enter the number of times the application is to try and connect to the server before timing out.
4. Once you have completed the above steps, you may want to save the connection as a shortcut where you can then access the FTP site you just configured by double-clicking the Shortcuts (heart) icon or by clicking on the Shortcuts menu:
   1. Click the Heart icon located at the top of the window.
   2. Select Make Shortcut... from the dropdown list.
   3. Enter a name for the shortcut, then click OK. For example, enter pobox FTP
5. When the New Connection window redisplays, click Connect to connect to the FTP site you just configured.
6. At the Authenticate to Kerberos window, enter your PennKey name in the Name field and your PennKey passwordin the Password field, then click OK.
7. If you are using Fetch 5.3 or any Kerberized application for the first time, refer to the documents at How to Use Your PennKey for information on how to get set up and work in a Kerberized environment.
