GSSAPI Errors and VPN



Title: GSSAPI Errors and VPN
I've been getting lots of GSSAPI errors in system.log when clients connect via VPN. When clients are connected via VPN DNS on the clients doesn't resolve correctly and stability is poor.

To avoid possible confusion with my odd (Greek) client and server names, I replaced the client name with "MyVPNClient and the server with "ServerFQDN"

From system.log:
Jun 26 08:14:39 myservername DirectoryService[60]: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (Server not found in Kerberos database)

From kdc.log:
Jun 26 08:14:42 ServerFQDN krb5kdc[276](info): TGS_REQ (7 etypes {18 17 16 23 1 3 2}) 10.0.0.4: UNKNOWN_SERVER: authtime 1182832508, MyVPNClient@FQDN for krbtgt/PPS.COM@FQDN, Server not found in Kerberos database

I see this odd second VPN entry when I do a kadmin.local -q listprincs:
vpn/serverfqdn@SERVERFQDN
vpn_28e90fc33eff@SERVERFQDN
I am suspicious of the second entry. Am I barking up the right tree by wanting to delete it?

I have so far tried rebuilding the entire server from scratch, demoting Open Directory to Standalone then re-promoting back to Open Directory Master. I also tried the procedure in this tread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4240563&#4240563

Nothing is working! I am especially dumbfounded by the rebuild not being successful. It appears I'm doing something odd with my setup. I did at one point have everything including VPN working on an older build that failed due to a drive failure. However, this problem did appear prior to the drive failure. I made one or two attempts to remedy the problem before the failure. My fall-back clone also had the problem so apparently I hadn't noticed it right away after the problem's appearance.

Thanks!

Gary Smith
