APM SSO -Kerberos Decrypt integrity check failed

I just want to draw your kind attention towards the fact that We've setup APM and SSO already and everything is working fine. Also, we've setup Kerberos on the back-end servers and, again, all seems to be fine - a Domain user can logon via Kerberos SSO to that back-end web server. Now, in regards to this problem, this is what I can add: We followed the "APM Cookbook: Single Sign On (SSO) using Kerberos". The TGT seems to be fetched by the F5, as well as the ticket for the xpto@DOMAIN.COM account. However - and this is what we think is the problem - the F5 cannot decrypt the ticket for some reason.

 

We have also disabled the encryption option to enforce AES256 encryption for the delegation account but problem still exists

 

BIG-IP Details:

 

Version:11.6.0 HF6

 

Here are the logs.

  • Hello,

     

    The Kerberos delegation configuration may be invalid, what is your AD account configuration ?. Also, Can you confirm that the F5 APM is able to do reverse DNS resolution (required for kerberos deleg)

      Thank you Yann Desmarest, all the configurations are correct. Yes F5 APM is able to do reverse DNS resolution.
