As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

How do I make Java authentication with windows AD (kerberos) work in Crystal Reports Infoview?

Asked by blackjack2003 in Business Objects, Apache Tomcat Application Server, Crystal Reports Software

Tags: Business Objects, Crystal Reports Server XI R2, XI R2, Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again.

Hello,
I am having a problem with getting windows AD authentication working when I use Kerberos authentication.  It works fine when I use NTLM authentication, but I heard the kerberos authentication (java) made for a simpler login (single sign on?), so I've been trying to get this to work.  Whenever I check to 'use kerberos authentication' though, it gives the error:
 "Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. "
I have done everything in the pdfs on business objects website, have created a mapped group for crystal reports, made an account and did setspn.exe as instructed, created krb5.ini and bcsLogin.conf, and added the following to the tomcat java config:
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\windows\bscLogin.conf
-Djava.security.krb5.conf=C:\windows\Krb5.ini

I wasn't sure exactly what went in those 2 files, but here they are:
krb5.ini:
[libdefaults]

    default_realm = COMPANY.LOCAL

    dns_lookup_kdc = true

    dns_lookup_realm = true

[realms]

COMPANY.LOCAL = {

    default_domain = COMPANY.LOCAL

    kdc = COMPANY.LOCAL

bcsLogin.conf:
com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {

  com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;

};

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've searched all over for information regarding this and it's pretty scarce.
