    In an on-premises deployments, if you are using the cloud hosted KDC, enter the pre-defined supported realm name that is supplied to you. The text in this parameter must be entered in all caps. For example, OP.VMWAREIDENTITY.COM. If you are using the built-in KDC, the realm name that you configured when you initialized the KDC displays.

    Note: You cannot edit the realm value from this page. If you are using the built-in KDC, you must re-initialize the KDC service. See Initialize the Key Distribution Center in the Appliance.
