Re: NFSv4 plus Kerberos with RHEL5 servers and RHEL6 clients using a Windows KDC (SOLVED)

Windows KDC doesnt like creating des keys and it has to be enabled
specifically. So what happened is that while you created your NFS
server keytab with a des key, your user's enctypes are windows
defaults which is arcfour-hmac. Btw, if you want des tickets for user,
then all user accounts in AD should be configured with an option "use
DES encryption methods".

Also let's remember that there are default_tkt_enctype and
default_tgs_enctype. First one limits encryption types for a tgt and
another is for a service ticket. In this scenario, your tgts should be
either arcfour or aes and your nfs service ticket should be des.
