HI Markus, Thank you very much! Sorry that I read the capture wrongly. Looks like the KVNO version and encryption type match between the client XP PC and squid proxy. <http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/file/n4663966/03.png> [root@proxy01 squid]# klist -ekt squid.keytab Keytab name: FILE:squid.keytab KVNO Timestamp Principal ---- ----------------- -------------------------------------------------------- 8 12/21/13 19:32:36 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (arcfour-hmac) 8 12/21/13 19:32:36 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 8 12/21/13 19:32:36 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 8 12/21/13 19:32:36 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (arcfour-hmac) 8 12/21/13 19:32:36 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 8 12/21/13 19:32:36 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 12 12/21/13 20:15:26 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (arcfour-hmac) 12 12/21/13 20:15:26 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 12 12/21/13 20:15:26 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 12 12/21/13 20:15:26 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (arcfour-hmac) 12 12/21/13 20:15:26 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 12 12/21/13 20:15:26 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 15 12/22/13 07:21:34 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (arcfour-hmac) 15 12/22/13 07:21:34 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 15 12/22/13 07:21:34 proxy02$@DEEPLAYER.COM (aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 15 12/22/13 07:21:34 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (arcfour-hmac) 15 12/22/13 07:21:34 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96) 15 12/22/13 07:21:34 HTTP/proxy02.deeplayer.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96) I did add below into the startup scripts.

Still dont know what's wrong. What is the KVNO and encryption type you see in the capture ? You may need to clear the cache on the XP machine by either lock/unlock the PC pr logging off/on or using kerbtray. It could be that XP had an old key cached.
