Dear Jan,

thanks for the message. Setting nopag = true in the [appdefaults] section of /etc/krb5.conf appears to "fix" the gdm login. However, I am somewhat surprised (or maybe it is just a lack of understanding of sudo on my end) that if I log in as a user, and issue sudo -i, root still has tokens (presumably because pam_afs_session is called again, and because KRB5CCNAME is preserved?). If I now issue "unlog", tokens are gone, as expected. But then if I exit and return to "user", also "user"'s tokens are gone... Is that expected? Best wishes,

Christian

Tickets and tokens are there. But logging in to gnome via gdm3 fails.

This list has had discussion on that topic before. In short, we used to have a systemd service to execute aklog in the systemd user session (after locating the correct Kerberos ticket cache), but we have given up on that approach and simply use the option nopag for pam_afs_session (in common-auth, common-session, and common-session-noninteractive). We have not had any trouble because of this (no token has vanished because one of multiple parallel SSH sessions has logged out or something like that).

Best,
Jan Henrik
