kerberos linux cluster authorization against AD

[Mark Pröhl]

Hello,

create a service principal that contains the dns hostname of the virtual 
IP (the name associated with 10.10.11.149): HTTP/<fqdn of vip>

use ktpass.exe to create a keytab for that principal

copy that keytab to both nodes

Regards,

Mark Pröhl

> The cluster is realized with Suse Linux SLES 11 Sp1 and the LVS toolset(ipvsadm, ldirecord) ; the  cluster is actice/active  with apache and tomcat running on each physical node. It is planned to authenticate the environment via mod_auth_kerb against Active Directory. As I explained in my first mail , that works if I do that with one physical node only. I followed the well known howtos and made kerberos tickets and keytabs which where copied to the linux node. After configuring the apache clients all worked as expected, the AD users could access the apache websites without any user and passwords interactions.

But authrization was impossible , the logs showed me error messages, because the request for webaccesss was directed to the "virtual"  cluster address , which is pretty ok and expected . Now my question , how to "kerberize"  the VIRTUAL CLUSTER IP   ??
