[Freeipa-users] Authentication Failure from Java - LoginException PREAUTH_FAILED

[Darran Lofthouse]

My apologies if this has already been discussed somewhere, I have tried 
a number of searches to see if this is either a known issue or common 
error on the client side but so far only found references to Java issues 
that should have been resolved a long time ago.

I have a Red Hat server running in Amazon EC2 with IPA 
ipa-server-2.1.3-9.el6.x86_64 installed - I have an admin user and a 
test_user defined.

 From my local machine using kinit works without error.

I have developed a test Java client to make use of the Krb5LoginModule, 
I am currently debugging further but thought I would mail this in 
parallel in case I am missing something obvious but I keep getting the 
failure that is at the bottom of this message.

This failure is reported when using java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.3.x86_64 - 
however I have also tried using various Oracle JDKs, both 6 and 7.

I know the password is correct as verified using kinit, also if I use 
jdk1.6.0_30 AND set the system property for Kerberos debugging to true 
on the client it works.

The only difference I currently see between the failure scenario and 
success scenario is that for success rc4-hmac is selected for the 
PA-ENC-TIMESTAMP for the failure scenario here aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 
is selected instead.

For the work I am currently using IPA for I could just force the use of 
rc4-hmac but would really like to get to the bottom of the cause of this.

Looking forward to any ideas.

Darran Lofthouse.
