This is not a Kerberos issue, but a Java issue of how Java finds a krb5.conf or krb5.ini on the running system. See: http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jgss/tutorials/KerberosReq.html As it says, "If the system property java.security.krb5.conf is set, its value is assumed to specify the path and file name." So you can add to the comamnd like -Djava.security.krb5.conf=/path.to/krb5.conf It says it then looks in in <java-home>\lib\security so put it there. After that it gets a little mushy. > > 2.

Oracle/Java need to address this issue on every system they run under, including 2008 with terminal server. Note: Windows itself does not use a krb5.ini or krb5.conf, so the location is based on where Oracle/java or some other Kerberos application expect it to be. > > > > Thanks& Regards, > > Onkesh Bansal > > Engineer-1 QA, > > Quark Media House (P) Ltd. > > oban...@quark.com > > ________________________________________________ > Kerberos mailing list Kerberos@mit.edu > https://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/kerberos > > -- Douglas E.
