F5 APM Kerberos SSO error log

Dear All,

 

I have an APM Kerberos (delegation) SSO configured for my sharepoint application, with Radius Auth as the primary authentication. Though everything is working fine as expected, I get the below APM logs:

  • Dear All... Could somebody please help? I am trying to implement Radius authentication (application has Kerberos delegation enabled) with Kerberos SSO using APM. Radius auth works fine. But Kerberos fails with the mentioned error.

     

  • when you work with Sharepoint, the SPN Pattern must be set to %h

     

    SPN Pattern can be:

     

    • Empty : SPN will be constructed with reverse DNS
    • HTTP/%s : SPN will be constructed with reverse hostname in local host file
    • HTTP/%h : SPN will be constructed HTTP request host name (each application have a different service account with dedicated SPN... this SPN if based on request host header)
    • HTTP/%s@REALM : SPN will be constructed with reverse hostname in local host file with different Kerberos Realm than account Realm
    • HTTP/%h@REALM : SPN will be constructed HTTP request host name with different Kerberos Realm than account Realm
