.kinit: Preauthentication failed while getting initial credentials

[Thomas Beaudry]

Hi Everyone,


I am running into a strange problem.  I can not get a kerberos ticket when using a keytab, but for 1 specific user only:


This is the command i use:


> kinit perform-admin -kt .perform-admin.keytab

kinit: Preauthentication failed while getting initial credentials


Now if I do:

?kinit

then i get prompted for a password, and then a ticket is created.


Like i said i can use a keytab for every other user and it does work, it is only for this 1 specific user that it fails.  I have also tried creating new keytabs for this user but it still fails.  I don't know if I have this problem because it's the same user that I used to join the REALM in the first place..

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
