Re: [squid-users] Re: Re: kerberos-authentication, msktutil, w2k8-domain-controllers and the old encryption-type "rc4-hmac"?

Hi Markus

Thanks for this hint. Is it true, that the msktutil checks, if a DC
could "speak" with AES and then update the
msDS-SupportedEncryption-Type-Attribut on the computer-object in the
active-directory? In my case, I had this behaviour. And I don't know
exactly, if it's msktutil's guilt.
