Hi xkahn,

I'm running into exactly the same issue like you did only I'm running Alfresco 5.0.d and I'm using jce-policy-unlimited 8 because initially I ran into the aes256 encryption issue.

My keytab also appears to be fine and the windows eventlog on the DC is only showing success event for the kerberos service ticket and authentication for the user I'm trying to logon.

Have you been able to solve this issue and if yes could you provide some information regarding your solution?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have already found and solved the issue.

Solution:
My Alfresco Linux server FQDN hostname did not match with the Active directory computer account and AD domain name.
After changing the FQDN to hostname.ADDOMAIN.TLD (In case you AD domain is: ADDOMAIN.TLD) solved this issue for me.
