Question: What is the purpose of the Kerberos protocol in Active Directory?

Answer: Kerberos is a network authentication protocol used by Active Directory to provide secure authentication for users and services. It uses tickets to verify the identity of users and services in a network environment.

Example:

When a user logs in, Active Directory issues a Kerberos ticket that can be used to access various network resources without requiring the user to re-enter credentials.
