#9608 Kinit not working
Closed: Fixed 3 years ago by kevin. Opened 3 years ago by jehane.

Hi

I'm a maintener for a few packages and I need to update them. But when I try to create a Kerberos ticket, I get an error. Password is OK, I have checked it and it's working on the web.

Error message is not helpful :
~  kinit jehane@FEDORAPROJECT.ORG -VV
Using default cache: persistent:1000:1000
Using principal: jehane@FEDORAPROJECT.ORG
Password for jehane@FEDORAPROJECT.ORG:
kinit: Password incorrect while getting initial credentials

Krb5 configuration looks OK

~  cat /etc/krb5.conf.d/fedoraproject_org
[realms]
FEDORAPROJECT.ORG = {
kdc = https://id.fedoraproject.org/KdcProxy
}
[domain_realm]
.fedoraproject.org = FEDORAPROJECT.ORG
fedoraproject.org = FEDORAPROJECT.ORG

My laptop is using Fedora 33, up-to-date

Does the server-side logs provides any information ?
Do you have any ideas ?

Thanks for your help


Can you please look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Kerberos#Debugging_problems and see if that helps you fix things?

If not, please add the debug output here and the contents of your /etc/krb5.conf file

Ok, solved. I changed my password some times ago using the recovery link.
I didn't notice I have to change it again to use Kerberos.

Sorry for the noise

No problem, thats a anoying corner case. ;( All this should be better with the new account system (landing soon!)
