Hi Douglas,

>   Have you tried Wireshark or other analyzer to see what might be going on?
Yes, a lot.

>   Do you have a krb5.conf file?
Yes of course, there is a krb5.conf file on client machine.

>   Does the web server support GSS? What is the server?
Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu), with mod_auth_kerb.
I suppose that, whether Apache2 can plug a kerberos module, then it
supports GSS ?...

>   Does the client have user credentials? (klist)
1) The client have the keytab with the entry concerning the targeted
service.
2) The client user has credentials in KDC. On KDC server, kinit
(user) / klist commands show the user.

I subscribed last week, and  I have already tried to... but i'm "read-
only" on that list
(how to get POST authorization ? i don't know...)

sorry, I don't understand what you mean because i do not have any
specific idea on how it works.
I just noticed there's an "negotiateauth" to enable... (if not yet
enable in Firefox Ubuntu version !)
