I've been running with Dovecot 2.2.15 on my mail server and Thunderbird on
workstations with
Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication. This has been working for over a year for 10
users.
The other day, I replaced a user's workstation and set up this user with a
Thunderbird client.
Unfortunately, I got the error:
"The Kerberos/GSSAPI ticket was not accepted by the IMAP server ... please
check that you are
logged into the Kerberos/GSSAPI realm."
Doing more experimentation I've found that I cannot set up *any* existing user
with a new
account without getting that same message. Interestingly, all existing users
can still connect
just fine from their Tbird clients on their current workstations which were set
up over a year
ago, I just can't create an account for them on a different workstation.
I'm at a loss as to where to start on this. My config is:
$ dovconf -n:
# 2.2.15: /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 4.4.38 x86_64 Slackware 14.2
auth_debug = yes
auth_debug_passwords = yes
auth_gssapi_hostname = $ALL
auth_krb5_keytab = /etc/dovecot/dovecot.keytab
auth_mechanisms = plain login gssapi
auth_use_winbind = yes
auth_username_format = %n
auth_verbose = yes
auth_verbose_passwords = plain
disable_plaintext_auth = no
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot_info
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
passdb {
driver = shadow
}
protocols = imap
ssl_cert = </etc/ssl/certs/OHPRS/GoDaddy/Apache/2016-08-10/54e789087d419b6e.crt
ssl_key = </etc/ssl/certs/OHPRS/GoDaddy/mail.ohprs.org.key
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
verbose_ssl = yes
Here is the log from an existing user, configured a long time ago, that works
OK:

Here is that same user set up on a new client computer, with all the same
settings (as far as I
can tell. This one apparently doesn't even try kerberos.

Lastly, at the risk of too much information, here is the log info for the
actual user (dsmith)
for whom I'm trying to set up tbird email on his new workstation. I get the
"Kerberos/GSSAPI
ticket was not accepted by the IMAP server ..." message shown at the top of
this post when this
user opens Thunderbird. Note that this user can connect and get mail just find
from his old
workstation.
