The apache has access to the keytab. I also put the keytab directly into the twiki web directory itself. Made no change...

I did a nslookup on the unix system and it showed me the server as wiki.test.lan.
I thought this would be enough on finding out the FQDN... Am I wrong with that?

I created the account on the AD manually... Then I created the keytab file by using ktpass with the SPN, the username, the password and some other things for the encryption. I can give you the complete exact information tomorrow...

Okay, I got some experience with wireshark, just did not think about it...
Ill try it out :)

Mh... I dont know if I get you right... Currently the users name at the AD, thats also in the keytab file, is TWikiUser. So I have to change its username to http/wiki.test.lan?

Greets,
