Re: Kerberos authentication with dsDoDirNodeAuth ?



It would help if you can tell us why you are doing the dsDoDirNodeAuth.
What directory service node are you trying to authenticate with?
Does the user already have a Kerberos ticket granting ticket in their cache?
You can check for the TGT using 'klist'.
