The problem seems to be in the keytab. There are some action sequences leading to some specific keytab file states:
(A) keytab works with Java but does not work with k5start/kinit;
(B) keytab does not work with Java, but works with k5start/kinit;
(C) keytab works with both them.
The short Java code that allows to check if Java can authenticate using the keytab file:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.security.auth.Subject;
import com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule;
/**
* This is simple Java program that tests ability to authenticate
* with Kerberos using the JDK implementation.
*
* The program uses no libraries but JDK itself.
*/
public class Krb {
private void loginImpl(final String propertiesFileName) throws Exception {
System.out.println("NB: system property to specify the krb5 config: [java.security.krb5.conf]");
//System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.conf", "/etc/krb5.conf");
System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.version"));
System.setProperty("sun.security.krb5.debug", "true");
final Subject subject = new Subject();
final Krb5LoginModule krb5LoginModule = new Krb5LoginModule();
final Map<String,String> optionMap = new HashMap<String,String>();
if (propertiesFileName == null) {
//optionMap.put("ticketCache", "/tmp/krb5cc_1000");
optionMap.put("keyTab", "/etc/krb5.keytab");
optionMap.put("principal", "foo"); // default realm
optionMap.put("doNotPrompt", "true");
optionMap.put("refreshKrb5Config", "true");
optionMap.put("useTicketCache", "true");
optionMap.put("renewTGT", "true");
optionMap.put("useKeyTab", "true");
optionMap.put("storeKey", "true");
optionMap.put("isInitiator", "true");
} else {
File f = new File(propertiesFileName);
System.out.println("======= loading property file ["+f.getAbsolutePath()+"]");
Properties p = new Properties();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(f);
try {
p.load(is);
} finally {
is.close();
}
optionMap.putAll((Map)p);
}
optionMap.put("debug", "true"); // switch on debug of the Java implementation
krb5LoginModule.initialize(subject, null, new HashMap<String,String>(), optionMap);
boolean loginOk = krb5LoginModule.login();
System.out.println("======= login: " + loginOk);
boolean commitOk = krb5LoginModule.commit();
System.out.println("======= commit: " + commitOk);
System.out.println("======= Subject: " + subject);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("A property file with the login context can be specified as the 1st and the only paramater.");
final Krb krb = new Krb();
krb.loginImpl(args.length == 0 ? null : args[0]);
}
}
, and the property file to use:
#ticketCache=/tmp/krb5cc_1000
keyTab=/etc/krb5.keytab
principal=foo
doNotPrompt=true
refreshKrb5Config=true
useTicketCache=true
renewTGT=true
useKeyTab=true
storeKey=true
isInitiator=true
(Below we assume that krb/kdc is correctly installed and configured, the database is created with kdb5_util. The starting state of each command sequence is: the keytab file deleted, token cache is deleted, user "foo" is deleted from the database.)
The following action sequence leads to the keytab state (A):
$ echo -e "foo\nfoo" | kadmin.local -q "addprinc foo"
$ echo -e "foo\nfoo" | kadmin.local -q "ktadd foo"
$ java -cp . Krb ./krb5.properties
# Now java auth okay, but the following command fails:
$ k5start foo
Kerberos initialization for [email protected]
Password for [email protected]:
k5start: error getting credentials: Decrypt integrity check failed
$
The following action sequence leads to the keytab state (B):
$ echo -e "foo\nfoo" | kadmin.local -q "addprinc foo"
$ echo -e "foo\nfoo" | kadmin.local -q "ktadd foo"
$ echo -e "foo\nfoo" | kadmin.local -q "cpw foo"
$ java -cp . Krb ./krb5.properties
A property file with the login context can be specified as the 1st and the only paramater.

But the "k5start foo" is okay in this state, as well as "kinit foo".
And the following action sequence leads to state (C):
$ echo -e "foo\nfoo" | kadmin.local -q "addprinc foo"
$ ktutil
ktutil: addent -password -p foo -k 1 -e rc4-hmac
Password for [email protected]:
ktutil: wkt /etc/krb5.keytab
ktutil: q
after that both k5start/kinit and the java verification give positive result.

Also the same behavior observed with Java 7.
Also the same behavior was observed on Ubuntu precise (12.04.1 LTS) with MIT's kerberos 5-1.10.3 compiled from the source distribution.
