    Kerberos SSO can be a bit fiddly to get working.

     

    Something that helped me out last time I worked with Kerberos SSO was chapter Kerberos Authentication with End-User Logons from the APM Authentication and SSO guide.

     

    Also, check out this article here on DC, APM Cookbook: Single Sign On (SSO) using Kerberos

     

    Verify that SPNs are configured correctly for your web servers. This Microsoft KB might have a few tips, How to use SPNs when you configure Web applications that are hosted on Internet Information Services

  • You can use Auction Site , which is being used as a testing server for ASM Labs. Doing so you can test form based SSO.You can also setup a Lab exchange server to test NTLM + Kerberos SSO.

      Exchange setup is very lengthy procedure that is why i chose IIS server.

  • Check the 401 HTTP request message send by your IIS server, what is the value for WWW-authenticate attribute? Should be "Negociate" for Kerberos. For basic's authenticiation the value is "Basic", seems to be the case here for you.

     

    If ok i advise you to activate debug mode for APM, and check if SSO profile is well invoke when you access your website in /var/log/apm.

    i tried to activate debug logs but not getting kerberos related logs here.

     

  • You SSO profile seems not invoked in that case. Never tried Keberos sso, but for other sso method i always saw logs. For example for HTTP-form sso:

     

    Jan 3 15:59:21 FW-xxx debug websso.1[15127]: 014d0001:7: constructor Jan 3 15:59:21 FW-xxx debug websso.1[15127]: 014d0001:7: webssoContext constructor ... Jan 3 15:59:21 FW-xxx debug websso.1[15127]: 014d0001:7: ssoMethod: form-based usernameSource:

     

    Check your Access profile configuration, make sure your sso profile is well applied.
