Hello to @all

First please let me say that I'm a complete green-horn when it comes to linux

I'm running elog on a linux virtual server and would like to use kerberos authentication. If I set 'Authentication = Kerberos' in the elogd.cfg file I get,

error.jpg

If I set 'Authentication = Kerberos, File' it works fine. I hope this is just some error on my part.

thanks,
Tom

Is Kerberos set up correctly on your PC? What is the Kerberos Realm? Does the command "kinit <your user name>" work correctly? If not, you have to install and configure Kerberos correctly. Make sure to have USE_KRB5 turned on in your Makefile. 

 Thanks for the quick reply!

I downloaded and installed the latest RPM. Is Kerberos used in the RPM? The command "kinit xxxxxxx"requests my password and then returns to the prompt. I believe that the virtual server is a normal PSI linux, but I'm not 100% sure

Kerberos is not used in the RPM. You have to compile yourself from the tar ball.
