BUG #4126: KRB5/GSSAPI authenication fails for multipart kerberos principals

by pjkoczan@[EMAIL PROTECTED] ("Peter Koczan") Apr 23, 2008 at 05:17 PM

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      4126
Logged by:          Peter Koczan
Email address:      pjkoczan@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 version: 8.3.1
Operating system:   Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Description:        KRB5/GSSAPI authenication fails for multipart kerberos
principals
Details: 

When trying to connect to an 8.3 server using a multipart Kerberos
principal
(e.g. ator/wsbackup.cs.wisc.edu@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 or koczan/mail@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 of wsbackup@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 or koczan@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
), the connection
fails, claiming a name mismatch. This is a change from 8.2 and I found
nothing in the changelog or do***entation to suggest this change or offer
a
workaround.

This happens no matter what client libraries I'm using (I'll connect using
8.3 clients only to illustrate this point).

Here's what happens with a normal login principal:

And what happens with my "mail" instance:

 to an 8.2 server works just fine...

However, connecting to an 8.3 server...

[koczan@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 ~ $ /s/postgresql-8.3/bin/psql -h sensei -p 49173 su****
psql: FATAL:  no pg_hba.conf entry for host "128.105.162.36", user
"koczan",
database "su****", SSL off

And this shows up in the syslog...

The appropriate line in pg_hba.conf shows
hostssl all         all         128.105.0.0/16     krb5

I'm connecting via native krb5, but this problem (or a variant of it)
occurs
when using GSSAPI authentication...

Different things happen when I turn SSL off, but it's still failing to
connect...
