Hi guys, I have spent more than one full day trying to understand why for hell I wasn't able to authentify on the ApacheDS kerberos Server using Studio on my mac. Last friday, we did a lot of tests with Pierre-Arnaud, and when Studio runs on Linux, there is no problem connecting on the Kerberos Server.
Today, I have spent 3 more hours testing it locally, and at the end, I successfully get it working ! There is a bug in the JDK, especially in the way it tries to find the domain, which leads to errors like 'Unable to load realm info from SCDynamicStore'. Hadoop has experimented such errors too (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7489). As soon as I added the following information in teh command line : -Djava.security.krb5.realm=<my realm> -Djava.security.krb5.kdc=<the KDC host IP> the authent worked... I still have to install Java 7 to see what's going on, but in the mean time, I think I will update the site with this critical information. Java on Mac sucks. Really... -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com
