[Freeipa-users] FreeIPA and Windows

[Randolph Morgan]

I am certain that everyone gets tired of answering the same questions 
over and over, so maybe an update to the documentation would be better.  
I am trying to get my Windows machines to authenticate against a FreeIPA 
server running IPA 4.2+ on RHEL 7.  I have followed the documentation 
listed on 
https://www.freeipa.org/page/Windows_authentication_against_FreeIPA, but 
there seems to be a few steps missing.

In the Configure FreeIPA you are told to create a keytab for the Windows 
machine in question.  After creating the keytab, what do you do with 
it?  It jumps from creating the keytab to configuring Windows but does 
not say what to do with the keytab and the instructions never reference 
it again.  Would someone please clarify this and is this something we 
would need to do for each and every Windows machine on our network?
