Hello

I can't get the cyrus murder (imap: 2.1.3, sasl: 2.1.2) running.
When i connect to the frontend servers i get the following errors:

proxyd[123]: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (No crendentials
cache file found)
proxyd[123]: couldn't authenticate to backend server: generic
failure 

It seems that the proxyd can't request a kerberos ticket. The
keyfile /etc/krb5.keyfile is readable for the user cyrus. In der
Cyrus documentation i found following: ".., the front end server
will authenticate to the back end server using a SASL mechanism (in
our case KERBEROS_V4 or GSSAPI) as superuser...". So i think GSSAPI
should be working. But when you look in the source you will find
that only "KERBEROS_V4" is acceptable by proxyd. After changing this
to "GSSAPI" i get the errors. Imtest works fine with GSSAPI
authentication on the front and backend server.

Is the only way to get the murder running to use Kerberos4 ????


Michael
