The error from Kerberos when trying to obtain a ticket in mod_auth_kerb is: [Tue May 01 09:22:07 2012] [error] [client 10.16.186.52] gss_acquire_cred() failed: Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information (, ) I have no insight into why the failure is unspecified but it would be helpful to include more information, even if just the ccache location being used. rob
