I _think_ the problem is that the setup instructions you followed implicitly assume that the machine where you are installing JBoss Negotiate is *not* joined to an Active Directory domain[*], and bad things happen if you try to use those same setup instructions for a machine that is joined to the Active Directory domain -- you end up with two different objects in AD that both want to be the HOST principal, e.g. HOST/PASKTABSVR1.wamtest.wa.local in your example.  (And you are going even further than that;  the machine that you're using for JBoss Negotiate isn't just any member of the AD domain, it is actually a domain controller).

I really didn't get what you meant by " ....the machine where you are
installing JBoss Negotiate is *not* joined to an Active Directory
domain[*],..... ", As far as I know any machine or user in a
particular domain will be the part of active directory.  Ya I can
separate JBOSS machine from the AD (KDC), ie I will create new machine
in same domain and install JBOSS and test, hope this helps !
I actually didnt got what you meant by word "joined". I am
misunderstanding something..
