KDC has no support for encryption type (14)

Question

I'm trying to implement SSO with kerberos using spring-security-kerberos extension.

I've created a keytab file and I get the following error when trying to access my webapp:

GSSException: Failure unspecified at GSS-API level (Mechanism level: Checksum failed)

I tried to test my keytab according to this post.

The keytab was created with the following command:

ktpass /out http-web.keytab /mapuser [e-mail] /princ HTTP/[e-mail] /pass myPass /ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL -crypto RC4-HMAC-NT /kvno 0

My krb5.conf is as follow

[libdefaults]
default_realm = MYDOMAIN.COM
permitted_enctypes =  aes256-cts arcfour-hmac-md5 aes128-cts rc4-hmac des3-cbc-sha1 des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc
default_tgs_enctypes = aes256-cts arcfour-hmac-md5 aes128-cts rc4-hmac des3-cbc-sha1 des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc
default_tkt_enctypes = aes256-cts arcfour-hmac-md5 aes128-cts rc4-hmac des3-cbc-sha1 des-cbc-md5 des-cbc-crc
kdc_timesync = 1
ccache_type = 4
forwardable = true
proxiable = true

[realms]
MYDOMAIN.COM = {
kdc = controller1.mydomain.com:88
kdc = controler2.mydomain.com:88
kdc = controller3.mydomain.com:88
admin_server = controller3.mydomain.com
default_domain = MYDOMAIN.COM
}

[domain_realm]
.mydomain.com = MYDOMAIN.COM
mydomain.com = MYDOMAIN.COM

[login]
krb4_convert = true
krb4_get_tickets = false

I get the following error:

 KDC has no support for encryption type (14)

I've tried enabling DES, AES-128 and AES-256 for the account of the SPN but it didn't solve the problem.

What am I missing here?

Thanks, Lior

Answer 1

just bashed my head against the KrbException "KDC has no support for enryption type (14)" for several days in sequence. I have visited many places including some indepth MSDN blog posts (from Hongwei Sun, Sebastian Canevari) I cannot reference for lack of reputation.

Thanks, for your mention of kvno 0 and dsiabling DES it now also works on my side.

In the end it boiled down that I have my User Account setup with

userAccountControl: 0d66048 or 0x10200 which matches 0b10000001000000000 or ADS_UF_DONT_EXPIRE_PASSWD (0x00010000) and ADS_UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT (0x00000200) but no UF_USE_DES_KEY_ONLY (0x200000) being set

and

msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes: 0d16 or 0x10 which matches 0b10000 or AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96 (0x10) but no RC4-HMAC (0x04) being set.

ldapsearch -h masterdc.localnet.org -D 'spn_hostname' -w '*password*' -b 'ou=Accounts,dc=localnet,dc=org' -s sub 'userPrincipalName=HTTP/[e-mail]' distinguishedName servicePrincipalName userPrincipalName msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes userAccountControl

With this and the following in my /etc/krb5.conf I can reproducably provoke "KrbException KDC has no support for enryption type (14)" when removing rc4-hmac from the default_tkt_enctypes.

/etc/krb5.conf:

[logging]
  default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
  kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
  admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log
[libdefaults]
  default_realm = LOCALNET.DE
  default_tkt_enctypes = aes256-cts
  default_tgs_enctypes = aes256-cts
  permitted_enctypes = aes256-cts
[realms]
LOCALNET.ORG = {
  kdc = masterdc.localnet.org:88
  admin_server = masterdc.localnet.org
  default_domain = LOCALNET.ORG
}
[domain_realm]
  .localnet.org = LOCALNET.ORG
  localnet.org = LOCALNET.ORG
[appdefaults]
  autologin = true
  forward = true
  forwardable = true
  encrypt = true

However if you change it to default_tkt_enctypes = aes256-cts rc4-hmac it will succeed.

Note that you can also leave out specifying the default_tkt_enctypes directive in /etc/krb5.conf, in order to make it work.

Using builtin default etypes for default_tkt_enctypes
default etypes for default_tkt_enctypes: 18 17 16 23.

It therefor looks like Windows Server 2008 SP2 Active Directory does explicitly require RC4-HMAC in the Pre-Authentication phase:

         PA-ETYPE-INFO2 etype = 23, salt = null, s2kparams = null

I have updated JCE 1.8.0 policy files within my JDK's jre/lib/security folder in order for AES256 to be supported.

Kind regards, Stefan

PS: You might want to extract the Kerberos 5 Tools from a Windows JDK because Oracle have removed it from the JDK 1.6 onwards. This gives you additional debug output on Linux platform with the Parameter (-Dsun.security.krb5.debug=true).

mkdir sun.security.krb5
cd sun.security.krb5
"C:\Oracle\Java\jdk1.8.0_112\bin\jar.exe" -xf C:\Oracle\Java\jre1.8.0_112\lib\rt.jar sun\security\krb5
"C:\Oracle\Java\jdk1.8.0_112\bin\jar.exe" -cf krb5.jar sun\security\krb5
dir

This works around JDK-6910497 : Kinit class missing http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6910497

Answer 2

What helped in my case was the switch

ktpass ... -crypto all ...

and I commented all of these in krb5.conf:

# default_tkt_enctypes = ...
# default_tgs_enctypes = ...
# permitted_enctypes   = ...

I guess it's default setup with rc4-hmac encoding that's most compatible.

No special settings were needed in Active Directory on my SPN account.

Windows Server 2008, Weblogic 10.3.6, Oracle JDK 1.7

Answer 3

Finally got it working: When implementing kerberos authentication for Oracle JDK 6, one should use RC4-HMAC encryption, and so the DES and AES support should be disabled for the user account.

Why did I check them in the first place is another story....
