This event is logged on domain controllers only and only failure instances of this event are logged. 

When user enters his/her domain username and password, the workstation contacts a local DC and requests a TGT. If authentication is successful, the domain controller grants the TGT and logs event ID 4768 (authentication ticket granted). However, if the ticket request fails either 4768 or 4771 is generated with type failure. To find information of user look at the Account Information: fields. This identifies the user who logged on. The User ID field provides the SID of the account. 

Note: Windows logs other instances of event ID 4768 when a computer in the domain needs to authenticate to the DC typically when a workstation boots up or a server restarts. In these instances, you'll find a computer name in the User Name and fields. Computer generated kerberos events are always identifiable by the $ after the computer account's name.

Target User Information:
"TargetUserSid" -> SID of an account
"TargetUserName" -> user who logged in
"TargetDomainName" -> domain name of user

This provides an information about the user who was just granted an authentication.

Network Information:
"IpAddress" -> IP address of the computer where the user is physically present
"IpPort" -> source TCP port of the logon request
"WorkstationName" -> the computer name of the computer where the user is physically present.  Workstation may be blank in some Kerberos logons.
