Hi, I'd like confirmation of something is possible, but first best to detail what I want: I want to use a separate computer account to authenticate my users against. I know that this requires an HTTP.keytab and computer in AD with SPN. I would like to use MKTSUTIL for this. If my proxy server is called SQUID1 and is already happily joined to the domain then I need to create a new machine account which I will call AUTH1. 1) Do I need to create a DNS entry for AUTH1 (with the same IP as SQUID1)? 2) If so, do I need just an A record? 3) I have evidently got confused over the msktutil switches and values and so I'm specifying something wrong. What have I done? See below... I used this command after a kinit myusername: msktutil -c -b "CN=COMPUTERS" -s HTTP/squid1.[mydomain] iz -k /etc/squid/HTTP.keytab --computer-name auth1 --upn HTTP/squid1 --server dc1 -verbose This created the computer account auth1 in the computers ou, added HTTP/squid1.mydomain to SPN and HTTP/squid1.mydomain@mydomain to the UPN. It also created the keytab HTTP.keytab. Klist reports: 2 HTTP/squid1.[mydomain]@[MYDOMAIN] 2 HTTP/squid1.[mydomain]@[MYDOMAIN] 2 HTTP/squid1.[mydomain]@[MYDOMAIN] However cache.log shows this when I then fire up me IE 2010/04/14 14:52:46| authenticateNegotiateHandleReply: Error validating user via Negotiate. Error returned 'BH gss_acquire_cred() failed: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information. No principal in keytab matches desired name' Thanks as always, Nick ** Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail ** The information contained in this e-mail is of a confidential nature and is intended only for the addressee.
