1.5 community: kerberos question

Hello,

I'm setting up a 1.5 community server on Debian 9, and I have a question about Kerberos authentication:

If I implement Kerberos authentication (https://www.wapt.fr/wapt-1.5/Installati ... ebian.html), does that mean I can only use Wapt on clients listed in my Active Directory?
Some workstations remain outside of Active Directory for various reasons, and I'd like to be able to provide them with software and updates nonetheless

.

It is recommended to enable Kerberos authentication for the initial registration of workstations. This is much more secure.

If a workstation is outside the domain, it will still be possible to register it manually through a fallback with login/password.
