Description Ondrej 2015-05-06 08:03:14 UTC
Description of problem:
[root@rh6laptop ~]# cat /etc/krb5.conf
...
[libdefaults]
 default_keytab_name = FILE:/var/lib/samba/krb5.keytab
...

[root@rh6laptop ~]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf 
...
    kerberos method = system keytab

When I do "net ads join", the real location of the system keytab file (var/lib/samba/krb5.keytab) is being ignored. Samba still tries to use /etc/krb5.keytab

tested with samba-common-3.6.23-14.el6_6.x86_64

Comment 4 Andrej Dzilský 2017-04-27 13:38:45 UTC
I am not able to reproduce this Bug :/ on 3.6.23-14.el6_6.x86_64, it works for me pretty good there.
Also it works on current version of Samba (4.6.0+) too.

I will appreciate any info for testing to get this bug verified.

Comment 5 Ondrej 2017-04-27 14:42:24 UTC
I can still reproduce this bug on samba-common-3.6.23-42.el6_9.x86_64 using the steps above.
Samba still ignores default_keytab_name setting in /etc/krb5.conf

Comment 7 Ondrej 2017-04-28 07:15:05 UTC
Which other info shall I provide?
The steps to reproduce are still the same - "net ads join" keeps creating krb5.keytab file in it's default location (/etc) even if a different location (say /var/lib/samba) is specified in /etc/krb5.conf

Comment 8 Andrej Dzilský 2017-04-28 09:54:34 UTC
Well. Let's start with:

rpm -qa | grep samba
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
cat /etc/krb5.conf

also run 'net ads join' with parameter '-d10' and attach the log, (e.g. 'net ads join -d10 &> log.join') 

Can I ask you if u entered just 'net ads join' without any parameters or ?

I'd like to find that little detail which prevents me to reproduce bug.

Regards.

See 'dedicated keytab' in 'man smb.conf'.

Comment 13 Ondrej 2017-05-09 08:17:39 UTC
Does not work either, unfortunately.
When I add:
    kerberos method = dedicated keytab
    dedicated keytab file = /var/lib/samba/krb5.keytab

and then "net ads join", krb5.keytab file is never created.

Comment 14 Andreas Schneider 2017-05-09 08:36:04 UTC
You need to call 'net ads keytab create'.

Comment 15 Ondrej 2017-05-09 09:17:17 UTC
When I call 'net ads keyteb create -U admin', krb5.keytab is still created in /etc, ignoring settings in both /etc/krb5.conf and /etc/samba/smb.conf

Comment 16 Ondrej 2017-05-09 11:51:45 UTC
Created RedHat support case #01845954 to support this

Comment 17 Andrej Dzilský 2017-05-22 10:28:05 UTC
Kerberos method with 'dedicated keytab' works on samba 4.6.0 too.
