Hi,
We have been using kerberos authentication against Active Directory here
for a long time by using a SPN attached to a user account and exporting
the keytab. The issue we have is that security policy mandates that
the password on the user account be changed which means we have to go
and regenerate keytabs every time this happens. Not exactly difficult
but tedious nonetheless.
To avoid the password change I thought it may be an idea to use the
machine account and add a SPN (http/fqdn.is.here) to that. I added:
kerberos method = secrets and keytab
dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab
to the smb.conf so samba will manage the keytab for me then did:
net ads join
net ads keytab add http
klist -k shows me the principals that should be there and AD agrees they
exist. I can get a TGT using:
kinit -k
without error (setting the UPN to host/fqdn.is.here@KERBEROS.REALM may
have helped this). Doing a
kinit -kS http/fqdn.is.here
works without error too. So, I think kerberos is ok but with a squid
3.5.12 configured with negotiate_kerberos_auth I see the dreaded
message:
negotiate_kerberos_auth.cc(180): pid=4888 :2016/01/07 12:50:29| negotiate_kerberos_auth: ERROR: gss_accept_sec_context() failed: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information.
and only that, no minor code when I try to use the proxy with a browser
on a windows client. Interestingly, doing a klist on the windows client
I can see a kerberos ticket for HTTP/fqdn.is.here that is for the proxy
I am testing.
Not sure what is missing here, I have a bee in my bonnet that this should
Just Work (tm) as the only real difference is that the SPN is attached
to a computer account not a user account - I would have thought as long
as the keytab is done correctly that this should not matter but clearly
something is not agreeing with me.
