I am trying to authenticate against a W2K3 ADS server. I have a single domain. The Linux box, Mandrake 9.1, Samba 3.0, will be providing print services. My ADS is server-4.mydomain.com and the Linux is server-3.mydomain.com. My /etc/krb5.conf looks like this: [logging] default = FILE:/var/log/kerberos/krb5libs.log kdc = FILE:/var/log/kerberos/krb5kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kerberos/kadmind.log [libdefaults] ticket_lifetime = 24000 default_realm = SERVER-4.MYDOMAIN.COM dns_lookup_realm = false dns_lookup_kdc = false [realms] SERVER-4.MYDOMAIN.COM = { kdc = 192.168.0.253 default_domain = mydomain.com } [domain_realm] .mydomain.com = SERVER-4.MYDOMAIN.COM mydomain.com = SERVER-4.MYDOMAIN.COM [kdc] profile = /etc/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf [appdefaults] pam = { debug = false ticket_lifetime = 36000 renew_lifetime = 36000 forwardable = true krb4_convert = false } If do kinit Administrator@SERVER-4.MYDOMAIN.COM I get kinit(v5): KRB5 error code 68 while getting initial credentials Or if kinit -v Administrator@SERVER-4.MYDOMAIN.COM kinit(v5): No credentials cache found while validating credentials Or if kinit -4 Administrator@SERVER-4.MYDOMAIN.COM Password for Administrator@SERVER-4.MYDOMAIN.COM: kinit(v4): Can't send request (send_to_kdc) Any help is appreciated. I am completely lost.
