I am deploying Linux/Firefox on a corporate Kerberos network.
I followed this Kerberos-on-Firefox procedure but still Firefox does not connect via the company's Kerberos.
I am using Firefox 3.0.18 on RedHat EL Server 5.5
Here is what I did:
Run kinit on the command line to create a Kerberos ticket
Check with klist: the ticket is valid until tomorrow, service principal is krbtgt/
[email protected].
In Firefox, set network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris to .dc.thecompany.com.
Load the company's portal page via its full hostname: http://server37.thecompany.com/alfresco. (note: server37 is actually the machine I am running Firefox on, but that should not be a problem I guess)
PROBLEM: the company's intranet portal still serves me the login/password page. The same portal correctly uses Kerberos on Internet Explorer/Windows 7 machines, same settings, and shows the user's personal page.
The server does not see any Kerberos request coming.
Did I do something wrong?
I enabled NSPR_LOG_MODULES=negotiateauth:5 as explained here, but the log file stays empty.
