Greetings,

I currently have a MIT KDC where I need to use the des-cbc-crc:normal 
encryption type on *one* service principal.  The rest of my KDC all 
principals can be aes or rc4.  I'm confused as to what I need in my 
config and what will work.

If I just have aes256-cts:normal and rc4-hmac:normal listed in kdc.conf 
in the supported_enctypes field, I'm still able to create the 
des-cbc-crc:normal service principal I need.  In fact, I can kinit -S 
for it and obtain it.  My confusion lies in that I thought not having 
des-cbc-crc:normal in this configuration line meant the KDC wouldn't 
recognize or serve tickets for it.

It'd be great to not have to put this in the config line so that later 
principals only get the aes256 and rc4 types on them, but I'm not 
understanding why I'm successfully obtaining a principal with only the 
des encryption type without adding it to this line.

Any hints?

John Harris
