In many cases, the wizard can suggest appropriate configuration values for you automatically.

...

For this guide, though, we will run through each step of the wizard.

Active Directory Connection

Connecting to your Active Directory lets the wizard inspect your AD, suggest values, and validate that your configuration is valid. 

You can choose a pre-configured User Directory, or connect to an Active Directory server of your choice:

Canonical hostname

If issues.example.local is a DNS CNAME record, say for server123.example.local, then the canonical name is server123.example.local

...

Note that even if you access JIRA using the short name http://issues, the canonical name is always in the FQDN form. (It is never just issues, but issues.example.com)

Kerberos Realm name

The Kerberos Realm name looks something like EXAMPLE.LOCAL or http://ACCOUNTING.COMPANY.COM

...

If the wizard can't look this up in AD, it will instruct you on how to determine this on your client.

Active Directory account

Kerberos services need to be mapped to an Active Directory account. We recommend you use a separate AD account to map each Kerberos service.
