Spring Security Kerberos + AD, Checksum Fail

I'm trying to do a Spring Security Kerberos with Active Directory credentials as stated in http://docs.spring.io/spring-security-kerberos/docs/1.0.1.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle/#samples-sec-server-win-auth. I'd like to say that I've got most of the things down (SPN, keytabs, etc.). Now I've got a checksum fail. Supposing I change my principal name, I get an AES encryption error.

I'm using Spring Boot on RHEL 6 with Oracle Java 1.8 + JCE Sample from https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security-kerberos/tree/master/spring-security-kerberos-samples/sec-server-win-auth

Here is what I get when run the jar


Debug is true storeKey true useTicketCache false useKeyTab true doNotPrompt true ticketCache is null isInitiator false KeyTab is /home/boss/webdev125-3.keytab refreshKrb5Config is false principal is http/[email protected] tryFirstPass is false useFirstPass is false storePass is false clearPass is false

principal is http/[email protected] Will use keytab Commit Succeeded

Some other details:

  • /etc/krb5.conf does have default_tgs_enctypes, default_tkt_enctypes to include aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96
  • default keytab location is matching between the application and krb5.conf
  • keytabs are being generated on a windows server, then copied to RHEL

It seems that I had conflicts with existing Service Principal Mappings. Once I cleaned it up, the error stopped happening. This link helped me find the solution.

I hit this issue recently.

The DNS of the service must match the service principal name. The principal name must start with HTTP/

Example: Service DNS: www.ala-bala.com Principal name must be: HTTP/ala-bala.com@REALM

The realm doesn't have to match the DNS.

If running locally, the DNS obviously will not match the principal.

You can work around it by adding a line to /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 ala-bala.com

You can also use a client which allows you to override the kerberos host/principal name like requests_kerberos in Python.
