RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ondrej 2017-12-27 14:43:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
since version of samba-common-tools-4.6.2-12.el7_4.x86_64, the command 'net ads keytab add':
- does not ask for AD admin password
- only updates the local Kerberos database, not the computer object in AD (the SPN attribute)
This was (as of samba-common-tools-4.4) working - not quite properly, but was working.
Comment 2 Andreas Schneider 2018-01-02 13:45:26 UTC 
Ondrej, could you please post the output of:

testparm -s
Comment 3 Ondrej 2018-01-02 14:11:19 UTC 
[root@skynet18 tmp]# testparm -s
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf

	idmap config * : backend = tdb
Comment 4 Ondrej 2018-01-03 08:59:15 UTC 
More info:
The command works as expected when adding SPN for the same machine, i.e:

> net ads keytab add nfs

but fails when I need to add SPN for the different host (say CNAME alias for virtual webserver performing SPNEGO authentication):

> net ads keytab add HTTP/different.host.s3group.com.S3GROUP.COM
Comment 5 Andreas Schneider 2018-01-03 11:02:29 UTC 
I think that's simply not supported. Could you open an upstream bug for this?
Comment 7 Ondrej 2018-01-03 11:07:30 UTC 
Ok, could do. Say for Fedora 26? Any chance someone will bother about this :-)?
I have a few RHEL subscriptions so can open a support request...
Comment 8 Ondrej 2018-01-03 14:43:18 UTC 
Created  support case #02002973.
Basically, I want to follow this Apache howto:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kerberos_Windows_Interoperability

without having to fiddle with the setspn command. I would expect Samba will do this for me.

Let's see what happens...
Comment 9 Andreas Schneider 2018-01-03 16:53:36 UTC 
Open an upstream Samba bug and paste the link here.
Comment 10 Ondrej 2018-01-04 07:57:50 UTC 
I do not have account there and it does not seem to be straightforward to create one. I hope someone from the RedHat support will do that for me...
Comment 12 Andreas Schneider 2018-02-14 12:43:08 UTC 
There is work in progress, will probably be in RHEL 7.6.
Comment 13 Ondrej 2018-02-19 10:32:09 UTC 
Question: Is it realistic to expect once this feature is implemented in Samba, the "adcli" command will inherit it as well or I need to open a separate RFE for this?
Comment 14 Andreas Schneider 2018-02-19 13:57:23 UTC 
adcli is not a Samba project. So you need to open a RFE for it.
Comment 15 Andreas Schneider 2018-03-07 13:29:45 UTC 
This is in master and will be in Samba 4.9
