Pre-authentication information was invalid (24)

Hi all,

im going to be really desperate from this error message during the authentization to the Win2003 server where the Active Directory is running ... Im using Krb5LoginModule.

- Our administrator of the AD service has enabled DES encryption at the tested account.

- Im sure that entered password is correct, because im able to login via this password to our network.

- Entered Kerberos realm is in upper case...in the form (COMPANY.COM)

- Kerberos KDC contains IP adress of the Domain controller.

I really dont know why it doesnt work....:-(( Strange is that if i enable ticketCache to the ability to use the native ticket cache it works fine.....

My code is:

import javax.security.sasl.*;

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

import javax.security.auth.Subject;

import com.sun.security.auth.callback.TextCallbackHandler;

/**

* This JaasAcn application attempts to authenticate a user

* and reports whether or not the authentication was successful.

*/

public class JaasSample {

public static void main(String[] args) {

LoginContext lc = null;

java.util.Properties p = new java.util.Properties(System.getProperties());

try

{

lc = new LoginContext("JaasSample", new TextCallbackHandler());

}

catch (LoginException le)

{

System.err.println("Cannot create LoginContext. "

+ le.getMessage());

System.exit(-1);

}

catch (SecurityException se)

{

System.err.println("Cannot create LoginContext. "

+ se.getMessage());

System.exit(-1);

}

catch (Exception e)

{

System.out.println("Login failer: "+e.getMessage());

}

try {

lc.login();

Subject subject = lc.getSubject();

Iterator it = subject.getPrincipals().iterator();

while (it.hasNext())

System.out.println("Authenticated: " + it.next().toString());

it = subject.getPublicCredentials(Properties.class).iterator();

while (it.hasNext())

((Properties)it.next()).list(System.out);

lc.logout();

} catch (LoginException le) {

System.err.println("Authentication failed: ");

System.err.println(" " + le.getMessage());

System.exit(-1);

}

System.out.println("Authentication succeeded!");

}

}

start.bat file:

--

"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\java" -Djava.security.krb5.realm=BERIT.CZ -Djava.security.krb5.kdc=10.1.0.04 -Djava.security.krb5.debug=true -Djava.security.auth.login.config=jaas.conf JaasSample

jaas.conf file:

JaasSample {

};

Output is:
