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.

Fixed In Version: samba-3.6.9-144.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: When joining an Active Directory domain and using Samba's support for using Kerberos keytabs, AES Kerberos keys were not added into the generated keytab. Consequence: Samba did not support the new AES encryption type for Kerberos. Fix: Support for AES Kerberos keys has been added to Samba. Result: AES Kerberos Keys are now created in the keytab during the Domain join.

Description Marko Myllynen 2011-10-24 11:29:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
When joining an AD domain with "net ads join" and smb.conf contains "kerberos method = secrets and keytab", the host keytab /etc/krb5.keytab is being created and a valid host principal of form HOSTNAME$@REALM in included in the file. However, only des-cbc-crc, des-cbc-md5, and arcfour-hmac enctypes are included, no aes256 or aes128 even in AD 2008R2 domain which has full AES support.

Aside from weaker security, with the aforementioned three enctypes things like "kinit -k -t /etc/krb5.keytab 'HOSTNAME$@REALM'" fail with the default krb5.conf (default_{tkt,tgs}_enctypes must be adjusted to be able to kinit).

"net ads join" should provide AES keys in the host keytab at least optionally if the domain controller supports AES, not only the previously mentioned three types (which are currently hard-coded in the source code).

Comment 2 Sumit Bose 2011-10-24 12:48:40 UTC 
Since this is an enhancement and not a bug fix and a solutions need to be coordinated with upstream I think it is too late for 6.2.
