Hi guys, We are upgrading to cyrus-imap-2.3.14 and are looking at using mupdate for the first time, but we are having problems with the GSSAPI authentication between mupdate hosts. We have two servers - sauber and tyrrell. sauber is one of the backend hosts and tyrrell is the mupdate master. We have generated service principals for them and placed them in their own key tabs: mupdate/sauber.bath.ac.uk imap/sauber.bath.ac.uk mupdate/tyrrell.bath.ac.uk imap/tyrrell.bath.ac.uk We initialise these keytabs in the START section of cyrus.conf with the following line: # authenticate to Kerberos auth cmd="/usr/bin/kinit -k -t /opt/etc/imapd/krb5.keytab mupdate/sauber.bath.ac.uk" (obviously the mupdate master uses mupdate/tyrrell.bath.ac.uk) If we run mupdatetest after starting the master daemons we see the following output on sauber: sauber $ /opt/packages/cyrus-imapd/bin/mupdatetest tyrrell S: * AUTH "PLAIN" "GSSAPI" S: * STARTTLS S: * PARTIAL-UPDATE S: * OK MUPDATE "tyrrell.bath.ac.uk" "Cyrus Murder" "v2.3.14" "(master)" C: A01 AUTHENTICATE "GSSAPI" {796+} 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 S: YIGZBgkqhkiG9xIBAgICAG+BiTCBhqADAgEFoQMCAQ+iejB4oAMCARKicQRvLEn4nvf4zsyDbNlSFPQe3SwAxL7iusPxROKhmcdUc9TRrN2290JAKNL9odMnOeOcEcVsmJHAq55ux476T6iF7L+G2XLWJiseyjeCDar7PpfA0p6h+TNFKnuqHhB7BNyVgGsLrGT91R4GHa0Y0LEP C: S: BQQF/wAMAAAAAAAAOK+zDAcAEADNmu4T0KaBjcxG0O4= C: BQQE/wAMAAAAAAAAGT4NlQQABAAv1geB3Ly5Xf/bqt8= failure: prot layer failure And resulting logs on tyrrell: May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk mupdate[15800]: [ID 921384 mail.debug] accepted connection May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk master[15766]: [ID 970914 mail.error] process 15800 exited, signaled to death by 11 May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk master[15766]: [ID 684980 mail.warning] service mupdate pid 15800 in READY state: terminated abnormally May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk master[15803]: [ID 392559 mail.debug] about to exec /opt/packages/cyrus-imapd/bin/mupdate May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk mupdate[15803]: [ID 518349 mail.debug] executed May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk mupdate[15803]: [ID 242572 mail.debug] New worker thread started, for a total of 1 May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk mupdate[15803]: [ID 242572 mail.debug] New worker thread started, for a total of 2 May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk mupdate[15803]: [ID 242572 mail.debug] New worker thread started, for a total of 3 May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk mupdate[15803]: [ID 242572 mail.debug] New worker thread started, for a total of 4 May 8 10:10:35 tyrrell.bath.ac.uk mupdate[15803]: [ID 242572 mail.debug] New worker thread started, for a total of 5 Looking on sauber, the mupdate/tyrrell.bath.ac.uk principal has already been exchanged by the time the mupdate server crashes: sauber $ klist Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_58 Default principal: mupdate/sauber.bath.ac.uk@xxxxxxxxxx Valid starting Expires Service principal 08/05/2009 10:10:31 08/05/2009 20:10:31 krbtgt/BATH.AC.UK@xxxxxxxxxx renew until 15/05/2009 10:10:31 08/05/2009 10:10:31 08/05/2009 20:10:31 mupdate/tyrrell.bath.ac.uk@xxxxxxxxxx renew until 15/05/2009 10:10:31 While trying to make this work, we did find one way -

If anyone has any ideas of what might be causing this problem we'd be very interested! Regards, Dave.
