My question is  this, Our windows AD has been upgraded to AD 2008 and now i can not authenticate against it and i am getting the following message in my messages file.

Couple of things you can check:

1. Check  if you are useing the correct password of reset the password on AD side and try the same. (http://www.3sp.com/en/kb/idx.php/75/211/Active-Directory/article/Common-Active-Directory-Errors.html )
2. Check if the user/principal names exist on AD side.

ok, did the klist and this is result:

bmail1:~ # klist
Credentials cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0
        Principal: adadmin@%domain name%

  Issued           Expires          Principal

Wesley,

What was the server OS  you upgraded from?
The client not foud is for - host/BMAIL1@AFRICANBANK.NET. You could try doing a kinit for this principal asswell ?
Do kinit alone with no arguments it should ask you for the administrator password, type the password and see what you get
Morning experts,

Ok, answers to your questions.

1. We upgraded our AD server from 2003 to 2008 (Microsoft)
2. BMAIL1 is the actual SLES 9.3 server, it is not a user.  Therefore there is no password to give when i do a kinit.
3. If i do a kinit alone i get the following.

bmail1:~ # kinit
adadmin@AFRICANBANK.NET's Password:
kinit: NOTICE: ticket renewable lifetime is 10 hours

In the first post it was said that i should update my samba packages.  I have not yet done this.  should i upgrade the server to SLES 10.2?  this will upgrade the samba packages.
Here is some more output when trying to log in with my domain account.

Hi guys,

i've been going through the questions i posted with the original setup. the problem there was with winbind, because it was not started.

bmail1:/ # wbinfo -u
Error looking up domain users
bmail1:/ # wbinfo -g
Error looking up domain groups

i am getting the same errors now, however, winbind is started.

I'm going to upgrade the server to SLES 10.2 and go through the configs as stated in this link.

http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-sles-e/2006-May/0049.html

Hopefully with the updated packages (smb, winbind etc) the authentication will work.  If someone has steps on how to setup AD authentication between MS AD 2008 and SLES 10.2, that would be great.
I upgraded the OS to SLES 10, still no joy.  Then upgraded the samba to 3.4, that did the job.  There was also a hot fix installed on the 2008 AD for kerberos authentication.  Not sure if that did anything. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951191  Thanks
