InitialLdapContext fails with Java 6 and Java 7

Question

I am working with GSSAPI successfully with JAVA 5. With JAVA 6 and 7 the InitialLdapContext call fails with the following stacktrace:

>>>KRBError:

Does anybody has an idea what ist going wrong in Java 6 or 7?

The ktab file is created with the ktab tool of a jre 7.

"c:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\ktab.exe" -a user@DOMAIN.DE password -k my.keytab -n 0 "c:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\ktab.exe" -a Service/host@DOMAIN.DE password -k my.keytab -n 0

Windows server 2008 Active directory

Please remember: If I am using Java 5 the InitialLdapContext call is working as expected.

Thanks in advance

Did you check that the SPN really exists? – Michael-O Jul 21 '13 at 20:04 — Michael-O, Jul 21 '13 at 20:04

Problem is solved.

I have used an alias dns name for the ldap_url property. In Java 1.5 the alias dns name was resolved to the real dns name. In Java 1.6 and 1.7 the resolving does not happen.

The change to a real dns name solved the problem.

So, the sequence is, User sends a SPNEGO ticket via Browser, application validates it and then calls LDAP? I am trying to identify why the request is being sent to ldap/yyy.de.xxx.net? Did you create another keytab for this service as well? What is the process you followed as i am facing the same issue. >>>KRBError: sTime is Fri Jun 14 13:40:01 CEST 2013 1371210001000 suSec is 948732 error code is 7 error Message is Server not found in Kerberos database realm is DE.XXX.NET sname is ldap/yyy.de.xxx.net msgType is 30 – Hammad Dar Apr 23 '18 at 07:46
