[squid-users] Problem with kerberos against AD

Hi,

we want to use squid with kerberos authentication and ldap authorization in the future. We use ntlm with windbind for a few years and it worked great, but now it�s time for kerberos.

We have squid-3.0.STABLE9-1.el5 running CentOS 5.4. The rpm is from this website: http://www.osnets.de/wordpress/squid/squid-proxy-authentifizierung/

We created a keytab using ktpass on the DC with the following command:

ktpass -princ http/proxy-kerberos.heidelberg.bw-online.de_at_HEIDELBERG.BW-ONLINE.DE -mapuser DNT1\proxy-kerberos_kerb -crypto All -pass PASSWORD -ptype KRB5_NT_SRV_HST -out c:\http.keytab

The keytab-file is generated without any errors and we copied it to the centos running squid.

The krb5.file looks like described in many postings I�ve read:

[logging]
 Default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
 kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
 admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log

[libdefaults]
 deafult_realm = HEIDELBERG.BW-ONLINE.DE
 dns_lookup_realm = true
 dns_lookup_kdc = 24h
 ticket_lifetime = 24h
 forwardable = yes

[realms]
 HEIDELBERG.BW-ONLINE.DE = {
  kdc = dc3.heidelberg.bw-online.de:88
  admin_server = dc3.heidelberg.bw-online.de:749
  default_domain = heidelberg.bw-online.de
 }

[domain_realm]
 .heidelberg.bw-online.de = HEIDELBERG.BW-ONLINE.DE
 heidelberg.bw-online.de = HEIDELBERG.BW-ONLINE.DE

I can kinit USER, he asks fort he password and I get a ticket.

I can also do a kinit -V -k -t /etc/http.keytab HTTP/proxy-kerberos.heidelberg.bw-online.de and I get the message "Authenticated to Kerberos v5".

The problem ist, that sometimes I get authenticated in the proxy, the client (WinXP, IE 7) doens�t ask f�r credentials, but when I then reboot the machine with squid, the client asks for credentials and will not get authenticated. I can then see the following entry in /var/log/squid/cache.log:

squid_kerb_auth: gss_acquire_cred() failed: Unspecified GSS faliure. Minor code may provide more information. No such file or directory

I also get the following message in cache.log, even when the auth works:, so I think, this is not the great problem:

squid_kerb_auth: parseNegTokenInit failed with rc=102

After undefined time, the authentication works again. I thought, it works again when I delete the client from the AD and joined again, but it was not reproduceable.

Has anyone an idea ?

Best regards
