Hello,

In continue to my e-mail below we detected the attribute DISALLOW_TGT_BASED
for the kadmin/admin principal.


      kadmin.local:  getprinc kadmin/admin@REALM
      Principal: kadmin/admin@REALM
      Expiration date: [never]
      Last password change:  Tue Oct 16 18:01:25 IST 2007
      Password expiration date: [none]
      Maximum ticket life: 0 day 03:00:00
      Maximum renewable life: 7 days 00:00:00
      Last modified: Wed Nov 21 15:02:00 IST 2007 (admin/admin@REALM)
      Last successful authentication: [never]
      Last failed authentication: [never]
      Failed password attempts: 0
      Number of keys: 4
      Key: vno 3, Triple DES cbc mode with HMAC/sha1,
      no salt
      Key: vno 3, ArcFour with HMAC/md5,
      no salt
      Key: vno 3, AES-256 CTS mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC,
      no salt
      Key: vno 3, DES cbc mode with RSA-MD5,
      no salt

      Attributes:
            DISALLOW_TGT_BASED REQUIRES_PRE_AUTH
      Policy: [none]


Although that from googling we understand that it shouldn't be a problem we
unset this attribute for the kadmin/admin principal and it seems to
stabilize the system.

Does it make sense ?

Thanks,

Ido Levy

Hello,

We are running kerberos server that use LDAP as his DB.
Until today everything works  fine but suddenly user creation failed as you
can see in the following example:

      kadmin.local:  addprinc -randkey user40
      NOTICE: no policy specified for user40@REALM
      assigning "default". Note that policy may be overridden by
      ACL restrictions.
      Unable to randomize key for "user40@REALM"
      Status 0x29c250c - Principal does not exist.

      kadmin.local:  getprinc user40
      Unable to retrieve principal "user40@REALM"
            Status 0x29c250c - Principal does not exist.

The error message we get in kadmin.log file is:

      local6:err|error kadmin.local[782428]: LDAP:
/blddir/krb514/src/plugins/ldap/ira_entry.c(193), 32: LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT


If you did encounter similar problem any advice/direction in how to
isolate/find/understand where is the problem would be appreciated.

Thank You !!

Ido Levy
