+If you wish to connect to domain accounts published through Active Directory (as opposed to local accounts created on the remote host), you will need to install the "python-kerberos" module and the MIT krb5 libraries it depends on.

+Installing python-kerberos dependencies

+Installing python-kerberos
+--------------------------
+
+Once you've installed the necessary dependencies, the python-kerberos wrapper can be installed via pip::
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   pip install kerberos
+   
 Kerberos is installed and configured by default on OS X and many Linux distributions. If your control machine has not already done this for you, you will need to.
