[Freeipa-users] Annoying issue with Firefox and kerberos ticket

[Adam Young]

So let me get this straight:  A system that works fine one day does not work the next.

You have  a Kerberos TIcket,  it expires.  The webUI doesn't work.  You then do a kinit and reload the browser,  and it does not work.  THen you  go through the initialization steps, including configuring the browser,  and then the webUI does work?


I can't see how that is possible.  All that the browser config does is sets a couple of values in the properties that allows the browser forward the Kerberos TGT to the FreeIPA site.  Are those values are somehow getting unset? There is something else going on.


THe next time,  before you re-init the tgt or anything,  go through the steps here:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/sso-config-firefox.html

and check the values for network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris

How did you reconfigure it? The button again? Did you look to see if it
was already configured? Did you try a restart of FF?

Firefox in the past, 3.x-era, tended to be a bit flaky with tickets,
especially renewing them. I can't recall any problems since 3.6.
