Dear Markus/All, Please guide me on the matter discussed below: Single Forest Multiple Domain setup A / \ / \ B C Problem: Single FOrest Multiple domains where as Root A is empty with no users. Domain B & C have no trust configured between each other. The internet users belong to Domain B & Domain C. We want to enable users from both domains to authenticate via Kerberos and authrorized through LDAP. Guides and Helpers used: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Authenticate/Kerberos http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/kerberos/2009-March/014751.html & squid_kerb_ldap readme file >>>If you serve multiple Kerberos realms add a HTTP/fqdn@REALM service principal per realm to the HTTP.keytab file and use the -s GSS_C_NO_NAME option with squid_kerb_auth...... i think this is the only change required in squid configuration to authenticate and authorize from multiple domains? Please confirm that am i to create SPN as below for this setup to work. (SPNs for both the domains) Creation of keytab/SPN/Computerobject for Domain A: msktutil -c -b "CN=COMPUTERS" -s HTTP/squidlhr.b.com -h squidlhr.b.com -k /etc/squid/HTTP.keytab --computer-name squid-http --upn HTTP/squidlhr.b.com --server dcofbdomain.b.com --verbose Appending in the same keytab SPN/keys for Domain B: msktutil -c -b "CN=COMPUTERS" -s HTTP/squidlhr.c.com -h squidlhr.c.com -k /etc/squid/HTTP.keytab --computer-name whatever-http --upn HTTP/squidlhr.c.com --server dcofcdomain.c.com --verbose PLease guide me on the changes that would be required in the krb5.conf file ? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My working krb5.conf file as per the guidance of Markus ( kerberos working authorizaton portion yet to implement ) [libdefaults] default_realm = B.COM dns_lookup_realm = false dns_lookup_kdc = false default_keytab_name = /etc/krb5.keytab ; for windows 2003 encryption type configuration. default_tgs_enctypes = rc4-hmac des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 default_tkt_enctypes = rc4-hmac des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 permitted_enctypes = rc4-hmac des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 [realms] B.COM = { kdc = b.com admin_server = dc.b.com } [domain_realm] .linux.home = B.COM .b.com = B.COM b.com = B.COM [logging] kdc = FILE:/var/log/kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log default = FILE:/var/log/kdc.log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- regards, Bilal _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
