Hi,

I have a Windows 7 Home Premium x64 installation (i.e. one that does not attach to a domain) that needs to talk to a Samba share in a Kerberized (not AD) environment.

I have setup "Kerberos for Windows 4.0.1" and "Network Identity Manager 2.0.102.907" and they are successfully able to obtain a Kerberos ticket from the KDC used by the Samba share.

How do I now get Windows Explorer to use that ticket when accessing the share?

Regards,
Rob.

After consulting with some network admin friends, the only way we see that working properly is to upgrade to win 7 pro and adding the system to the domain. LDAP/Kerberos is a tricky beast

LDAP/Kerberos is a tricky beast

Lol, only in M$ world. I have a secure LDAP/Kerberos setup and every single Linux, Android, OSx and iOS device has had no problems authenticating and browsing the secured services.

Only Windows has had any issues. I've discovered a number of Group Policy and Registry settings that you can modify to get Windows 7 to talk to a Samba share, but none of them have worked in my case.

Thanks anyway,
Rob.
