The reason we want gssproxy, and not the default rpc-gssd and rpc- svcgssd services is that we are using active directory, and most of our accounts are members of many groups, causing gssd to fail. This is a known issue and is one of the things that gssproxy solves.
>>The reason we did this was to allow the kernel NFS server to handle big tickets like those containing a MS-PAC payload that may be received by a Microsoft client. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to krb5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1788459 Title: gssproxy crashes in libselinux.so.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 when called by rpc.gssd Status in gssproxy package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in krb5 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libselinux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have apache configured to perform a kerberized NFS4 mount using rpc.gssd and gssproxy.
