Hi All, I have been setting up a new proxy, it needs to have Kerberos auth so that the users on the domain do not get prompted for a password - but are authenticated and this is to show in the logs. Sorry for the formatting, I tried using the bold and embed tags but they did not work It does not work for windows 7, windows 8 or windows 2008 I have it working when I try from a windows 2003 OS, and can see the auth occurring in the logs: ............D1jAEc= user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2013/08/05 11:48:16| squid_kerb_auth: INFO: User user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticated However from a windows 7 or windows 8 PC, the authentication does not complete and instead there is an error: 2013/08/05 11:48:31| squid_kerb_auth: ERROR: gss_accept_sec_context() failed: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information. 2013/08/05 11:48:31| authenticateNegotiateHandleReply: Error validating user via Negotiate. Error returned 'BH gss_accept_sec_context() failed: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information. ==> /var/log/squid/cache.log <== 2013/08/05 11:48:31| squid_kerb_auth: INFO: User not authenticated Below is some information on the configuration: We are running 3 x 2008R2 domain controllers and 1 x 2003 domain controller, thus the domain mode is set to 2003. The krb5.conf file contains: [logging] default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log [libdefaults] default_realm = MYDOMAIN.COM.AU dns_lookup_kdc = false dns_lookup_realm = false ticket_lifetime = 24h default_keytab_name = /etc/squid/PROXY.keytab forwardable = true ; Note, because we have a 2003 domain controller, I have the 2003 uncommented below not the 2008 with AES ; for Windows 2003 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 ; for Windows 2008 with AES ; default_tgs_enctypes = aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 rc4-hmac des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 ; default_tkt_enctypes = aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 rc4-hmac des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 ; permitted_enctypes = aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 rc4-hmac des-cbc-crc des-cbc-md5 [realms] MYDOMAIN.COM.AU = { kdc = kdc1.mydomain.com.au kdc = kdc2.mydomain.com.au kdc = kdc3.mydomain.com.au kdc = kdc4.mydomain.com.au admin_server = kdc1.mydomain.com.au default_domain = mydomain.com.au } [domain_realm] .mydomain.com.au = MYDOMAIN.COM.AU mydomain.com.au = MYDOMAIN.COM.AU The squid.conf contains the following custom settings: auth_param negotiate program /usr/lib64/squid/squid_kerb_auth -i -d -s HTTP/proxy.mydoamin.com.au auth_param negotiate children 10 auth_param negotiate keep_alive on auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours acl ad_auth proxy_auth REQUIRE http_access allow ad_auth http_access allow localnet (Note: I would like to get rid of the http_access allow localnet, but even on 2003 when the auth works - internet access is denied without this line) My /etc/sysconfig/squid file has the following custom lines: KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/squid/PROXY.keytab export KRB5_KTNAME when I ran this command, the keytab was generated successfully: msktutil -c -b "CN=COMPUTERS" -s HTTP/proxy.mydomain.com.au -h proxy.mydomain.com.au -k /etc/squid/PROXY.keytab --computer-name PROXYK --upn HTTP/proxy.mydomain.com.au --server dc1.mydomain.com.au --verbose the permissions on the keytab are below which should be fine: -rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 1430 Aug 5 08:33 /etc/squid/PROXY.keytab In Summary, the fact windows 2003 works and gets authenticated shows to me that Kerberos is working, why wont windows 2008, 7 or 8 works?
