Hi

I ran into the problem stated below. I can’t find any bug number or status of this issue? Is it solved? The workaround seems quite messy.

Sam Hartman (see below) suggested I report this as a bug. It has been

there

for a long time, and I understand Heimdal does not have this problem.

Synopsis: When a cred cache is not available, and a keytab cred is

available, gss_acquire_cred should obtain an initiator cred cache

based on the keytab cred when GSS_C_BOTH or GSS_C_INITIATE flag is set.

See RFC 1964, June 1996, Section 3

fourth paragraph.

Severity: 

Probably not high, because there is

a somewhat kludgy workaround that many of us use:

run a cron or background process that repeatedly generates a

cred cache from a keytab.

(e.g., "kinit -k -t" or API equivilent)
