I have a problem with server referrals in my Windows environment.  I have 
two Unix webservers server1.example.com and server2.example.com with SPNs 
HTTP/server1.example.com and HTTP/server2.example.com respectively. Both 
SPNs are setup under a Windows 2003 SP2 domain test.example.com. 
test.example.com has a two way trust to example.com (2003 SP2 domain) which 
has a two way trust to prod.example.com (2003 SP2 domain).

                    EXAMPLE.COM
                      /                      \
                     /                         \
TEST.EXAMPLE.COM        PROD.EXAMPLE.COM


The problem I have that a user from prod.example.com can access server1 and 
authenticate, but can not authanticate to server2. The reason is that the 
client gets an error "unknown principal" from prod.example.com when 
requesting a TGS for HTTP/server2.example.com whereas for 
HTTP/server1.example.com the client gets a TGS referrals reply to 
example.com and from there to test.example.com.

What determines on the domain controller prod.example.com to reply with a 
referral to a TGS Req ?

BTW I only assume the replys are referrals as the TGS Req does not have the 
canonicalisation option set and the TGS Rep doesn't have pa-data as 
described in draft-ietf-krb-wg-kerberos-referrals-09.txt. Does Windows 
follow that draft ?

Thank you
Markus
