Kerberos authentication failure and 'error creating bean with name 'globalAuthenticationFilter'

[teamdest]

I'm attempting to get Alfresco 5.0.a set up on a CentOS 6.6 (Final) computer, using LDAP as a user backend and MIT Kerberos as an authentication backend. The LDAP stuff worked pretty easily when I set it up, but when I try to configure Kerberos, I get the following error in the log when I restart. I haven't made any changes to the file it is referencing.



The code tags don't appear to be working right on this error, not sure why.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'globalAuthenticationFilter' defined in file [/opt/alfresco-5.0.a/tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/subsystems/Authentication/kerberos/kerberos-filter-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.SecurityException: Configuration Error:

As per the error, it looks like some configuration file is missing. 

is java.lang.SecurityException: Configuration Error:
No such file or directory
