There is an Oracle configuration option that goes into sqlnet.ora that determines whether or not you are using a new MIT-style krb5.conf file:
SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CONF_MIT = TRUE >From the Oracle documentation: Parameter: SQLNET.KERBEROS5_CONF_MIT=[TRUE|FALSE] Description: This parameter specifies whether the new MIT Kerberos configuration format is used.
