First of all, thanks for the fast replay. It was not easy to find the
problem,
given that from the logs of Z / OS KDC looked like a kerberos problem.
Instead
the true problem was that the Z/OS KDC was using code page IBM-1047
while the FTP server uses the code page IBM-280. And between the two
different code pages, in particular, the hexadecimal representation of
the @ character in IBM-280 matches the character §, and vice versa.

In particular in the ftp server configuration file 'ftp.env' was
defined as the variable:

                        LC_ALL = It_IT.IBM-280

While in the configuration file kdc 'envar' was defined in the variable:

                        LANG = En_US.IBM-1047

I have then changed the code page of the IBM ftp to IBM-1047.

And work perfectly.

Thanks again
