Symptom
If Mac OS X 10.2 is installed over a Mac OS X 10.1.5 Kerberos client on which either the MIT Mac OS X 10.1 Kerberos Extras or MIT Kerberos for Macintosh 4.0 had been installed, then you may encounter these two symptoms:
1. You may see an alert when the Kerberized Carbon CFM application tries to connect to a Kerberos enabled service. For example:
After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.2, when you open the Eudora email application, an alert box appears with a message that that one of the Kerberos libraries failed to initialize. Eudora then quits, and email cannot be accessed.
2. The application may be missing Kerberos authentication options. For example:
After upgrading to Mac OS X 10.2, the Fetch FTP application does not have any Kerberos authentication options available. The only available authentication option is to connect using a plain text password. Prior to upgrading to Mac OS X 10.2, the Preferences Security pane had Kerberos-related options, and New Connection windows had options to choose in the Security pop-up menu (KClient or GSS options in addition to a Cleartext password option).
Note: Similar issues can occur if either:
- A Mac OS X 10.2 Archive and Install was performed on a Mac OS X 10.1.x Kerberos client, or
- The MIT Mac OS X 10.2 Kerberos Extras were not installed on a new Mac OS X client.
Solution
1. Update to Mac OS X 10.2.1, if you have not already.
2. Install the MIT Mac OS X 10.2 Kerberos Extras.
