Problem with Java (j2sdk1.4.2_03 on a Windows XP client) and

[ram marti]

Not quite correct. In 1.4.2, TCP should be used as a fall back when the 
message size is large and the error code KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG is 
returned.



See:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jgss/jgss-features.html

"Support TCP for Kerberos Key Distribution Center Transport

Sun's implementation of Kerberos implements Kerberos version 5 according 
to RFC 1510 and uses UDP transport for ticket requests. A new Internet 
draft updates this RFC. One of the added features is required support 
for TCP as a transport in addition to UDP. As a result, in cases where 
Kerberos tickets exceed the UDP packet size limit, the KDC would return 
an error code indicating that the request should be resent over TCP.

In the current 1.4.2 release, Sun's implementation of Kerberos now 
supports automatic fallback to TCP. Therefore, if the Kerberos ticket 
request using UDP fails and the KDC returns the error code 
KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG, TCP is automatically the default transport.

..."

If the error  KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG is returned, TCP will be used.
