Hi

I am running Apache(2.0.52) on Sol-10 (x86). and am using mod_auth_kerb
for kerberos authentication..

I have correctly generated the keytab file for the host following the
details at http://www.grolmsnet.de/kerbtut/.
but at seeing the logs, it shows me that Apache/mod_auth_kerb is
getting creds for differnet principal instead of mentioned in the
/etc/krb5/krb5.conf..
What could be wrong here ..

my /etc/krb5/krb5.conf

        DESHAW.COM = {
                kdc = dchyd1.hyd.de.com
                admin_server = dchyd1.hyd.de.com
        }

[domain_realm]
        sx86qa2.hyd.de.com = DE.COM

        default = FILE:/var/krb5/kdc.log
        kdc = FILE:/var/krb5/kdc.log

Instead of DE.COM, it is going for HYD.DE.COM..it is confusing me..
can someone please throw light on this and possibly direct me to the
correct answer ?
