I'm trying for some days to get the authentication with Kerberos to work with labs 3.0c on W2K3-Server.

Does anybody in the whole world have a running installation like this?

Yes. I have gotten the Alfresco Web Interface to work with SSO Kerberos authentication (provided by Windows 2003 Server R2 Active Directory). CIFS is absolutely another issue (see my thread here: [ERROR]Alfresco Engineers: CIFS auth does not work. Sugg?) However, Alfresco is running on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server.

I followed the Configuring the CIFS and web servers for Kerberos/AD integration wiki and it worked first-time, no issues.

Post any files you changed (in their entirety within

 blocks) and output to alfresco.log and I will do my best to help.‍

Ok, got it solved.. i was trying to access the webinterface locally from the alfresco-Server (running on the KDC), this didn't work and results in an Error Message in the Webinterface:

System Error:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: End of data buffer
at org.alfresco.jlan.server.auth.asn.DERBuffer.unpackBytes(DERBuffer.java:195)
….

I don't know, if this only happens when alfresco is on same server as the KDC, or if generally no local login is possible when using kerberos-authentication, but from other clients it works now.. yeah! 🙂

Glad you got it sorted out! Still working on my issue.
