Pre-Installation Instructions

A. SAPgui and Kerberos Tickets

Acquire Kerberos tickets. Tickets are required to connect to SAP systems

  1. SAPgui may bring up the Ticket Viewer to prompt you to obtain Kerberos tickets. If not:
    • You may see an error mentioning 'GSS-API'
    • SAPgui may stall at 'Connecting...'
    • Your SAPgui session may freeze.
      All of these behaviors mean that either you do not have Kerberos tickets, or your Kerberos tickets have expired. To resolve that issue, use the instruction below to get tickets manually.
  2. How to get Kerberos tickets manually
    • Launch Kerberos Ticket Viewer (/Applications/Utilities/Ticket Viewer). On Mac OS Catalina it is located in (/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications)
    • Enter your Kerberos username (the first part of your @mit.edu email address), and your Kerberos password (the password used to check your @mit.edu email).
    • If You cannot find the Ticket Viewer app (Catalina OS) then (re)install the Java JDK, reboot and it should show up.
