problem with 2003 krb and mit krb integration with mozilla thunderbirdon a multiple realm scenario

Wed Feb 1 12:38:39 EST 2006

The MS SSPI Kerberos on the client assumes the server is in one realm,
and the MIT Kerberos another. It looks like you added server principals
in to both realms to try an accommodate this.

But the server's gssapi libs is expecting to be in a single realm.

As a test, on the server, can you force the imap server to think
it is in the LABEXAMPLE.COM.BR realm? (Maybe by starting it with
its own krb5.conf with the default realm changed.)

Then the third test should work, but the others fail.

If this is the problem, then you could change the realm of
the server to be in the AD realm, by changing the krb5.conf
file on clients so they use the same realm as the SSPI.

You could also change the gssapi code to use any entry in the keytab
file for imap/hostname. (The MIT rlogin code will do it also already
and we have a mod for gss to do it too.)
