I run two Kerberos services in my network. The current production system on domain @OLD using plain MIT and the upcoming samba4 server on domain @AD.MICROSULT.DE. With both domains in the krb5.conf I can get tickets from either domain. However, I just try to setup a notebook as a reference system for the workstation migration. Getting a ticket from samba4 fails: kinit Administrator at AD.MICROSULT.DE kinit: Generic preauthentication failure while getting initial credentials The same command using the same password on another workstation works fine. Also issuing kinit user at OLD on the notebook succeeds. Using a username, which does not exist in the AD fails with a different error message, i.e. it seems to actually speak to the AD. Any idea what to check? /etc/krb5.conf looks the same on both systems. Kind regards, - lars.
