Kerberos AS-REQ

[mark]

Hi,

you can get tickets for any service principal by sending a AS-REQ with
kinit. By default kinit requests TGTs (i.e. service tickets for
krbtgt/REALM at REALM). -S overides this behaviour. So "kinit -S 
HTTP/server.domain at REALM"
should just get you an initial service ticket for the HTTP service on
server.domain instead of a TGT.

If you just want to check if the KDC can issue service tickets for
HTTP/server.domain by TGS-REQ, you can use "kvno HTTP/server.domain"
after doing a kinit.

I wonder why the server name in your wireshark is written lowercase
(http/server.domain instead of  HTTP/server.domain). Could that be the
reason for PRINCIPAL_UNKNOWN error?

Regards,

Mark Pröhl
