Thanks for the reply. I have check the HW and Systems time. They were different, however now HW and Systems time is with in 3 second. The other thing is, i am able to authenticate using LDAP AAA (not Active Directory). I used the same AD servers. But authentication failed with Active Directory AAA.

 

One question I have, Can we use the AAAA LDAP authentication for Kerberos SSO with the Kerberos SSO profile.

 

Any suggestion.

Still better to ask also the server team to check their AD logs and so on. See this "Table 3.1 Client-side and server-side authentication method support matrix" on the link below:

 

https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K08200035#link_02

 

 

Basically on the F5 device you use for the client side authentication the apm web form (webtop) or HTTP Basic and the server side authentication (SSO) can be KERBEROS.
