Configuring Kerberos constrained delegation for 
Docs

Configuring the 
Docs
 service to use Kerberos constrained delegation (KCD) for accessing resources such as 
Microsoft SharePoint
 and File Shares removes the requirement for end-users to provide their network credentials to access to network resources using the 
Docs
 service.
Before configuring the 
Docs
 service to use KCD, it is important to understand that configuring KCD for 
Docs
 service is independent of configuring 
BlackBerry Dynamics
 KCD. This means, for example, that if your mobile app (for example, 
BlackBerry Work
) requires use of the 
Docs
 service exclusively, you only need to configure KCD for the 
Docs
 service. 
For example, the following diagram charts a sample KCD call flow for 
BlackBerry Work
.
 
KCD call flow
All KCD transactions are between the 
Docs
 service account and the key distribution center (KDC) and respective resources. No KCD information is cached on the mobile app. The 
Docs
 service uses 
Microsoft
’s Service for User (S4U) specifications for KCD. For more information on S4U, visit the MSDN Library to see: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246071.aspx.
