Hi List,
I'm having problems getting OpenSSH GSS-API authentication to work against
AD 2008. Here's the error I'm seeing in the SSH server logs.

I'm getting a TGT and a host ticket OK from the AD KDC according to klist
(see below). The problem appears to be when my SSH client passes the host
ticket to the SSH server. I have local user1 accounts on both systems.

I'm adding the SSH server account on the AD side as follows:
---snip---
C:\Users\user1>ktpass -princ
host/test-ssh-server.example.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -mapuser
test-ssh-server +rndPass -crypto DES-CBC-MD5 -out test-ssh-server.keytab
-ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL
Targeting domain controller: ad-test-01
Using legacy password setting method
Successfully mapped host/test-ssh-server.example.com to test-ssh-server.
Key created.
Output keytab to test-ssh-server.keytab:
Keytab version: 0x502
keysize 66 host/test-ssh-server.example.com@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ptype 1
(KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL) vno 2 etype 0x3 (DES-CBC-MD5) keylength 8
(0x519bdae957df8a8a)
---snip---
As far as I can see, my DNS records and /etc/hosts entries are correct and
the KVNO = 2 on both sides. I imported the keytab using ktutil and the
import and reading the keytab back works fine.
Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks,
Paul
