Hi Mark,

LON-CAPA currently supports kerberos version 4, not kerberos version 5.
For more information, see BUG #663 which describes the probable fixes.

In fact, if you try the suggested patches
at http://bugs.lon-capa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=663

you could probably get it to work (before we thoroughly go after it).

LON-CAPA should be made to support Kerberos version 5.

Regards,
Scott
