Can you try the option -s GSS_C_NO_NAME ? Thank you, Markus! With "-s GSS_C_NO_NAME" it works, at least with the negotiate_kerberos_auth_test client. I will try later with real hosts and browsers, though. I should have guessed this before. The server's `hostname` is "big.sibptus.transneft.ru", while "proxy.sibptus.transneft.ru" is an A record pointing to another IP alias of the same server. If only the Kerberos error message was more informative, something like "principal not found in the keytab" instead of "mech unknown", I would have guessed this long ago and would have spared myself a week of tribulation. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
