Title:
[snap] Firefox snap cannot use kerberos authentication
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Applies to Ubuntu 22.04 and any other versions where firefox runs as snap:
firefox:
Installed: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 500
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/statu
You can configure Firefox to use negotiate authentication with kerberos.
https://people.redhat.com/mikeb/negotiate/ on how to do this.
To use kerberos auth, Firefox needs to read kerberos ticket cache, default
to /tmp/krb5cc_${id -u}. Since Firefox runs as a snap in 22.04, and possibly
other versions, it cannot read this cache, and thus cannot use kerberized
authentication.
Firefox installed as native application works as expected.
