Markus I have a request out to Microsoft to get more information on this. Microsoft apparently are not following the draft IETF standard as yet but have something similar (pre-draft spec) implemented in 2000/2003. 09 spec shows differences in Appendix.
I would check both DNS and AD: - For DNS check that server2.example.com has a correct forward and reverse. Possible that reverse maps back to another name and thus wrong SPN being requested from AD - Check AD has the right SPN registered in domain. I also assume this is one forest and you left appropriate delay for new server to replicate. It is not clear (to me...) how Windows does cross-forest but within forest it can look up SPN through Global Catalog and return referral to correct domain. Edward 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 ?
