Description
The GSS-krb5 mechanism passes tokens from the Kerberos protocol encapsulated in GSS style messages. When the mechanism receives a GSS style token it looks at the tkekn type to determine which Kerberos protocol message it contains. Currently, the token type for the KRB-ERROR message is not supported and receiving it will cause an exception saying that the token was improper.

The KRB-ERROR message is mostly utilized as part of context establishment in GSSKrb5 to indicate a failure. One scenario when the server sends this to the client is when the client sends the context establishment token to the wrong server identity.

EVALUATION sharon.liu@eng 2001-07-13 Yup, plan to fix in Tiger. [ Seema Malkani ] I have added support to parse the KRB-ERROR, and in addition, have added support for the new Pre-authentication types returned in the KRB-ERROR message, as defined in the latest Kerberos specification. This has been fixed as bug 6228529. This bug is a duplicate of bug 6228529. Hence closing this bug.
