As part of authenticating and generating tokens for clients, Kerberos needs, besides many other things, the hostname of the client. They must resolve to the same hostname on the client and server by their corresponding DNS. And by convention, hostnames are case insensitive. What we observed is that the Kerberos client and server disagree when it comes to hostnames with upper case alphabet. HTH Thanks, +Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli Hortonworks Inc. http://hortonworks.com/
