Server GSSAPI Error:

Ramesh B — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 02:40:03 GMT

Server are configured in NIS and NFS.

If we try to connect to the same host by ssh we are getting the error as shown below.

/usershome/thyagu/>ssh 172.16.2.21
Server GSSAPI Error:
Miscellaneous failure
No principal in keytab matches desired name

Received disconnect from 172.16.2.21: 2: Too many authentication failures for thyagu
/usershome/thyagu/>

Please can some body help us to solve this error.

Hi Ramesh,

Based on the error 'Too many authentication failures for thyagu', this mean the user 'thyagu' has been locked because 'too many authentication failures' (ex. this could be happened if someone key-in the wrong password for user 'thyagu').

Use SAM to check whether the user has been locked, and reactivate the user if locked.

Hope this information can help.

Cheers,
AW

Ramesh,
from :

"This problem can be caused by a missing or incorrect host principal for the SSH server, or the host principal is correct but the keytab entry is missing or incorrect. This is how the problem manifests itself with gssapi-with-mic authentication."
