A brief update here: I'm testing the new version (0.32.2-1ubuntu0.1) of the package, and I can confirm that I see the expected GSSAPI strings in the neon27 binary.
That said, trying to use Kerberos behavior in a neon27 consumer (davfs2) doesn't seem to be working. I'm not sure if that's a configuration issue, or if it's a problem with the library. I'm working on figuring that out now. (davfs2 logs show that it tries Negotiate auth, then skips to Basic auth without further logging output, making this more difficult to diagnose.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to neon27 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2003266 Title: 22.04 package lacks GSSAPI support Status in neon27 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in neon27 source package in Jammy: Fix Committed Bug description: [ Impact ] * GSSAPI was disabled by accident as a side-effect of packaging a new release. Upstream renamed the environment variable used to setup the feature and the flag was not updated in d/rules. * Users get caught off-guard when updating from 20.04 to 22.04, 24.04 is not affected. [ Test Plan ] * Did not test the binary, confirmed the fix is effective by analyzing the build logs. * I've confirmed that the issue is solved by checking for the presence of the following string in the build logs: checking for krb5-config... /usr/bin/krb5-config.mit Whereas a build with the issue will instead output: checking for krb5-config... none * I believe the fix is non-intrusive enough that no further testing is needed. [ Where problems could occur ] * Enabling a new feature could have a side effect of disabling another mutually-exclusive feature, but I did not identify any. * Enabling a new feature could break a different feature which changes its behavior when this new feature is present, I also did not identify any such case.

The 22.04 built package of neon lacks GSSAPI support, whereas previous versions (e.g. 18.04) had this support built-in. This appears to be due to a recent-ish change in the build logic for neon, which changes when GSSAPI is compiled in to the library (https://github.com/notroj/neon/commit/b9b7425de38b35249e689c03c30c8fd8adfae806) We were able to get a work around building from source with the following envvar during build-time: KRB5_CONF_TOOL=/usr/bin/krb5-config.mit ./configure. TL;DR: KRB5_CONFIG became KRB5_CONF_TOOL.
