We have a Kerberos V4 authentication server running on a DECstation
5000/25.
A client running on an IBM 3090 under VM/XA and a server running on a
DECstation 5000/25 are able to successfully perform mutual authentication
using the krb_sendauth and krb_recauth calls. However, when I run the
same server on the IBM 3090 and the client on the DECstation 5000/25,
I get the message:
Kerberos error: Can't decode authenticator (krb_rd_req)
The VM/XA server application is using the Kerberos libraries under
TCP/IP V2R2. The error message indicates that the ticket it received was
indecipherable. The server key file, ETC SRVTAB A3 had not been opened
when the error message was received (file mode A3 would have caused the
SRVTAB file to be deleted after it was opened).
Has anyone encountered this problem? Does anyone have a server
application which uses Kerberos running under TCP/IP V2R2, VM/XA?
Any help appreciated - thanks!!!
