The KDC will not resolve the fully qualified host name (FQDN) correctly (even though you specify it on the Configuration-By-Forms domain parameter (see page domain Parameter—Specify Domain Name)) unless it resolves the host name passed from the client as the FQDN.

The FQDN is picked up from your network configuration (rather than the config.dat setting) when the Kerberos driver calls gss.init.sec..context(). Often the unqualified host name is passed to the KDC, and gss.init.sec..context() fails.

UNIX and Linux:

VMS:

Use the TCPIP utility:
