gss_acquire_cred - failed with "No key entry found"

[letz.yaara]

Hi,

Does gss_acquire_cred require the service principal name to be
resolved to the current machine ?

I got the following minor error code (major was Failure):

[2] [ERROR] [27/08/2013 13:23:26]  [display_status_type()] GSSAPI
Minor error: *No key table entry found matching
HTTP/ptr-216-8-179-23.ptr.nextdimensioninc.com@* (code: 39756033)


(No idea what is ptr-216-8-179-23.ptr.nextdimensioninc.com)


I used gss_import_name with GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE and the spn was
HTTP at bla.realm.org

But it was resolved once I add to /etc/hosts the line -

127.0.1.1       bla.realm.org


Do you know why? Before the upgrade it used to work without updating
the /etc/hosts file


Thank you!

Yaara
