KB-1767: How to adjoin when there are conflicting / duplicate SPNs in the forest

Auditing and Monitoring Service ,   Authentication Service ,   Mac & PC Management Service ,  

12 April,16 at 11:07 AM

Problem:

adjoin fails with the following message:
  • One or more of the following SPNs already associated with other account in the forest

Cause:

This can happen if there is an enterprise application, such as SAP, using the http SPN, which causes a conflict when adjoin is run.


Resolution:

Remove "http" from adclient.krb5.service.principals in /etc/centrifydc/centrifydc.conf.
The entry should now read:
  • adclient.krb5.service.principals: ftp cifs nfs

Save the configuration and then run adjoin again.
