I think the delegated_cred_handle output from gss_accept_sec_context, has principal in lower case. When delegated_cred_handle passed to gss_init_sec_context the default principal of the krbtgt is in upper case causing the "Matching credential not found" error. Can I report this as a bug?
-----Original Message----- From: kerberos-boun...@mit.edu [mailto:kerberos-boun...@mit.edu] On Behalf Of Xie, Hugh Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2014 11:39 AM To: <kerberos@mit.edu> Subject: gss_init_sec_context with delegated_cred_handle error Hi, When I pass GSS_C_NO_CREDENTIAL as cred_handle to gss_init_sec_context(), I got no error. But when I pass delegated_cred_handle (output from gss_accept_sec_context) as cred_handle to gss_init_sec_context(), I got 'Matching credential not found' error. It seems that when passing delegated_cred_handle gss_init_sec_context care about ticket cache. In my case the default principal in the ticket cache was upper case use...@my.domain.com. Currently, I can remedy the situation by running a 'kinit use...@my.domain.com<mailto:use...@my.domain.com> -t -v $KRB5_KTNAME' to create a lower case default principal use...@my.domain.com<mailto:use...@my.domain.com>. I have two questions: 1. Why gss_init_sec_context care about ticket cache default principal when using delegated_cred_handle? Why it works when I am not delegating? 2. Is there a better approach to remedy this problem other than kinit since the ticket cache could expire overtime, I am running a web service that could stop working if it expires? Is there a code based solution? I am using krb5 version 1.11.5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments, is for the intended recipient(s) only, may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or proprietary and subject to important terms and conditions available at http://www.bankofamerica.com/emaildisclaimer.
