I am trying to browse my HDFS system from internet explorer but for some reason it is always using NTLM instead of Kerberos, so I receive the message
GSSException: Defective token detected (Mechanism level: GSSHeader did not find the right tag)
If I browse from Firefox (after setting the properties network.auth.use-sspi=false and network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris=https://pd-vrt-21488) everything works fine.
In IE I added https://pd-vrt-21488:50470 to the list of local intranet sites and enabled “Integrated Windows Authentication”.
Looking at the request by using Fiddler I see the difference between Firefox using Kerberos and IE using NTLM.
Firefox header:
Authorization: Negotiate YIICyAYGKwYB .....much more character.....V2HbPG57vXnQ7Vm7ba7MTJ7qzJ7zA7+1foY=
IE header:
Authorization: Negotiate TlRMTVNTUAABAAAAl4II4gAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAbEdAAAADw==
Any ideas what’s wrong ?
