Problem with testsaslauthd and kerberos5 ("saslauthd internal error")
- by danorton
The error message “saslauthd internal error” seems like a catch-all for saslauthd, so I’m not sure if it’s a red herring, but here’s the brief description of my problem:
This Kerberos command works fine:
$ echo getprivs | kadmin -p username -w password
Authenticating as principal username with password.
kadmin: getprivs
current privileges: GET ADD MODIFY DELETE
But this SASL test command fails:
$ testsaslauthd -u username -p password
0: NO "authentication failed"
saslauthd works fine with "-a sasldb", but the above is with "-a kerberos5"
This is the most detail I seem to be able to get from saslauthd:
saslauthd[]: auth_krb5: krb5_get_init_creds_password: -1765328353
saslauthd[]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=username] [service=imap]
[realm=] [mech=kerberos5] [reason=saslauthd internal error]
Kerberos seems happy:
krb5kdc[](info): AS_REQ (4 etypes {18 17 16 23}) 127.0.0.1:
ISSUE: authtime 1298779891, etypes {rep=18 tkt=18 ses=18},
username at REALM for krbtgt/DOMAIN at REALM
I’m running Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) with the latest updates, namely:
Kerberos 5 release 1.8.1
saslauthd 2.1.23
Thanks for any clues.
