mech_dh is the Diffie-Hellman mechanism in Solaris.

On older systems, this is the default mech that gets
used if the caller does not specify the Kerberos OID when
making the init/accept calls.

To make the system default to using the Kerberos mech,
adjust the lines in /etc/gss/mech file so that kerberos_v5
mechanism appears before the mech_dh mechanisms.

 Hi folks,

 I wrote a SSPI Client / GSS-API Server application that works fine in
 a tree of ActiveDirectory domains / Solaris realm environment where
 the KDC are the AD domain controlers.

 Server application is located in mytree.dom and users in
 child.mytree.dom.

 However, I sometimes get an error for some users. These users can
 establish a context from W2K workstations but cannot from WinXP
 workstations (both workstations are located in child.mytree.dom).

 The Solaris GSS-API server shows the following error message for
 connections established on WinXP ws:

 MAJOR(gss_accept_sec_context) : Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code
 may provide more information MINOR(gss_accept_sec_context) : mech_dh:
 Invalid or unknown error


What does 'mech_dh' mean ? Diffie-Hellman mechanism ???

 What differences between Kerberos SSP W2K SP4 and WinXP SP 1 ?


Thanks for any hint, -- Jacques
