After struggling with this issue for almost two days now, I have run out of issues. Here is what I get when i run kinit
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_16\bin>kinit -k -t c:\JBOSS.host.keytab JBOSS Exception: krb_error 24 Pre-authentication information was invalid (24) Pre-auth entication information was invalid KrbException: Pre-authentication information was invalid (24) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsRep.<init>(KrbAsRep.java:66) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsReq.getReply(KrbAsReq.java:486) at sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit.sendASRequest(Kinit.java:308) at sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit.<init>(Kinit.java: 259) at sun.security.krb5.internal.tools.Kinit.main(Kinit.java:106) Caused by: KrbException: Identifier doesn't match expected value (906) at sun.security.krb5.internal.KDCRep.init(KDCRep.java:133) at sun.security.krb5.internal.ASRep.init(ASRep.java:58) at sun.security.krb5.internal.ASRep.<init>(ASRep.java:53) at sun.security.krb5.KrbAsRep.<init>(KrbAsRep.java:50) ... 4 more We have a windows 2008 server running Active Directory. I have created a JBOSS user there and ran the SetSPN and Ktpass utlility. Also, I have made sure that DES encryption check box is checked for the JBOSS. Since I modified that check box few times, I have made sure that I reset the password everytime as I read few places that it can create issues with the encryption. I am running the kinit on windows 2003. I have generated the key tab file on 2003 using Ktab command. (I have also tried generating this file in 2008 and using that file when I run the command in 2003 but of no use) Now I am not sure what else is going on. Iniitlally I was running into client not found in the database. I went past that problem by making sure that I ran the kinit utility by just passing in the user name JBOSS rather than mydomanin\JBOSS If you need more info I would be more than happy to provide it. Looking for any clue to move forward. Thanks vs ________________________________________________ Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos
