-## Using IAM credentials for authentication
+## Using different authentication methods
+
+It is possible to use different methods for the authentication to OpenSearch. The parameters of `connection_class` and `http_auth` can be used for this. The following examples show how to authenticate using IAM credentials and using Kerberos.
+
+### Using IAM credentials
 
 Refer the AWS documentation regarding usage of IAM credentials to sign requests to OpenSearch APIs - [Signing HTTP requests to Amazon OpenSearch Service.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/request-signing.html#request-signing-python)
 
 Opensearch-py client library also provides an in-house IAM based authentication feature, `AWSV4SignerAuth` that will help users to connect to their opensearch clusters by making use of IAM roles.

+### Using Kerberos
+
+There are several python packages that provide Kerberos support over HTTP connections, such as [requests-kerberos](http://pypi.org/project/requests-kerberos) and [requests-gssapi](https://pypi.org/project/requests-gssapi). The following example shows how to setup the authentication. Note that some of the parameters, such as `mutual_authentication` might depend on the server settings.
+
+```python
+
+from opensearchpy import OpenSearch, RequestsHttpConnection
+from requests_kerberos import HTTPKerberosAuth, OPTIONAL
+
+client = OpenSearch(
+    ['htps://...'],
+    use_ssl=True,
+    verify_certs=True,
+    connection_class=RequestsHttpConnection,
+    http_auth=HTTPKerberosAuth(mutual_authentication=OPTIONAL)
+)
+
+health = client.cluster.health()
+```
