HP CIFS Server and Kerberos

RC4-HMAC Summary:

 HP-UX 11i

 HP CIFS Server A.02.01 (Samba 3.0.7 with 3.0.8 backports)

 HP-UX Kerberos Client version 1.3.5

 Windows XP SP1 client

 Windows 2003 Advanced Server Enterprise Edition KDC and Active Directory domain

HP-UX command line operations using the Windows administrator user are authenticated using RC4

encryption. The Windows client user itself is authenticated using RC4-HMAC encryption, but the

service ticket for the HP CIFS Server share is encrypted using MD5. The Windows 2003 KDC event

*ALWAYS* shows MD5 for the HP CIFS Server share in these test cases – regardless of the HP-UX

enctype configuration.
