Hi guys, in upgrading some Ubuntu systems from Karmic (libpam-krb5
3.15-1) to Lucid (libpam-krb5 4.2-1) I discovered a problem.
SSH authentication would fail with pam_krb5 the error:
"credential verification failed: KDC has no support for encryption type"
However kinit username at REALM worked fine, as did kerberized NFS mounts.
I found that if I removed my krb5.keytab things ssh authentication also
worked. After reading the docs I was able to get login working and keep
my krb5.keytab by adding a "keytab=/foo" option to the line in my
/etc/pam.d/common-auth that called pam_krb5.so. Is there a downside to
doing this?
I'm also wondering why my krb5.keytab is not accepted by pam_krb5.
Could it be because I am authenticating in the realm=AD.ENGR.UCONN.EDU
and the principals in the keytab are in the realm=ENGR.UCONN.EDU?
Thanks for any assistance!
Rohit
