    Kerberos Authentication to UNIX from Windows 7 OS


    Hi, I am testing Windows 7 OS in our domain and found that Kerberos authentication to UNIX domain from Windows 7 is not working. It is prompting for a password everytime I connect to a unix host and not going throuh pass-through authentication. This works perfectly fine on Windows XP OS in our environment.

    Is there any setting that needs to be done to make this working from Windows 7 client?

    Thanks

    Hi there could you try disabling User Account Control in Windows 7?
    Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Change User Account Control Settings. Bring it all the way to the bottom.

    This didnt work. While checking the spn I see "RestrictedKrbHost" under spn list for windows 7 machine. Could this be related to the issue?

    C:\WINNT\system32>setspn -l win7hydtest4
