Hello All, I'm getting the above error when I try to get the initial ticket using kinit. The KDC is Windows 2003 and the client is running on linux. My understanding of kerberos and the KDC in particular is that if the KDC can't send the response back via UDP it will switch over to TCP. My question is this: Does the client need to
programmactically take an action if it recieves this error or will this be taken care of
"under the hood"? Also the client side (linux), is there a way to force the
communication to occur using TCP?

Depends on the release of the Kerberos. MIT 1.2.x did not support TCP, 1.3.x does. Its a recent addition to Java as well. Theylibs wil switch as needed.

The krb5.conf [libdefaults] udp_preference_limit = nnn
can be used to tell the client to use TCP if the message is over nnn
bytes. Setting to 1 in effect says try TCP first.

The problem is the ticket is large due to the PAC being included from AD.
(IIRC) W2003 servers have a lower cut over size then W2000 servers.


TIA, Bruce E. Wells
