Subject: [PATCH] cifs.upcall: fix krb5 regression with --trust-dns
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 16:19:17 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818191917.434889-1-pc@manguebit.org> (raw)
Customer reported randomly failed krb5 authentications against certain
servers when using --trust-dns parameter. Turned out that the client
failed to establish sessions against those servers when using
CIFS/KRB5_NT_SRV_HST service principals.
Restore old behavior of always trying cifs/KRB5_NT_UNKNOWN service
principal first when using --trust-dns parameter.
Reported-by: Pierguido Lambri <plambri@redhat.com>
Reported-by: Frank Sorenson <sorenson@redhat.com>
Fixes: 562a6cb4f99c ("cifs.upcall: Retry krb5 TGS request with uppercase service name")
