Appendix F: CIFS Server A.02.04 (Samba 3.0.30) Kerberos Service
Principals
HP CIFS Server A.02.04 is based upon Samba 3.0.30, and Samba made significant changes to the
service principals that are written to the Active Directory and krb5.keytab file. Below are screenshots
showing the new principal names.
With the new Samba, only 2 principals are written to the AD. Both are HOST, thus eliminating the
CIFS principals that were previously used in conjunction with HOST.
This excerpt from “net ads status” shows the 2 principals as reported by Samba.
dNSHostName: atcux14.rose.hp.com
servicePrincipalName: HOST/atcux14.rose.hp.com
servicePrincipalName: HOST/ATCUX14
