kinit: Unsupported credentials cache format version number while storing credentials

[sandyp...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I am getting the error

" kinit: Unsupported credentials cache format version number while
storing credentials "

and " klist: Unsupported credentials cache format version number while
setting cache flags"
errors when I try to acquire credentials. Could you please let me know
what does these errors mean? Also can you please explain what is meant
by "setting cache flags" ?

Thank you,
Sandy.

Can you post more informations? Kerberos version, OS type, your
configuration files...

Hi ,

kerberos version is MIT 1.4.3
OS: Linux
Configuration files as given in the installation guide. If I capture
the ethereal, I can see the TGT ticket getting issued for the correct
realm.

Sounds like mixing of new and older verisons of Kerberos. You can try
adding this to the krb5.conf:

[libdefaults]
ccache_type = 3

Hi ,

Thanks a lot for the reply. I am yet to try this option. Could you
please explain what is meant by "setting the cache flags " ??
