RE: [squid-users] kerberos keytab

Just curious.. what conditions might occur that would need the keytab updated?

I've been running Kerberos auth squid for 6+ months now and have not had to update the keytab ever.

Is this because the Active Directory account name (proxytest) I used to generate the keytab with has "Password never expires"

I generate with ktpass on the Windows 2008r2 KDC and then copy to squid directory..

ktpass.exe -princ HTTP/proxytest.company.internal_at_COMPANY.INTERNAL -mapuser COMPANY\proxytest -crypto rc4-hmac-nt -ptype KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL +rndpass -out HTTP.keytab

This has worked well for me.

thanks, Helmut.

i made one script to check the file change and run "squid -k reconfigure".

i'll wait till next change to see if it works correctly.
