Authentication server
A server that has access to a store of authentication information and that can authenticate users. For example, an authentication server might verify a user’s identity by prompting the user for a name and password and comparing that information to the names and passwords in a database. In Kerberos authentication, the authentication server also looks up the user’s private key, generates a session key, and creates a TGT. See also ticket-granting server.
