My task is to connect to a Kerberized LDAP server through Java GSS API. I have a small sample app that I use to test my connection, my Kerberos configuration, connection parameters, etc, to be sure that I can connect to the LDAP server and retrieve data. The code for this is given below:

Within the testkerberized.properties file, the "ldapHost" property is defined to be "ldap://dv2k8ad.2k8.hlp.net:389/dc=2k8,dc=hlp,dc=net".
Now, when I run this app with Java 7, it works like a charm. The Kerberos authentication succeeds, and the data is successfully retrieved from the LDAP server. However, I cant get it to run with Java 6. It keeps giving me the following exception:

It's worth noting that module.commit() succeeded, and the subject was successfully obtained, so no issues there. But I noticed that the sname field in the KrbError message was off. It says ldap/2k8.hlp.net whereas it should have been ldap/dv2k8ad.2k8.hlp.net.
Following this, I ran a Wireshark session to capture all the Kerberos packets being sent, and I captured packets while running TestKerberizedLdap on both Java 6 and Java 7. The TGT was acquired successfully, because the program got a successful AS-REP in both cases. However, the TGS-REQ being sent to the KDC had different values. The server name sent by Java 6 was ldap/2k8.hlp.net and the one sent by Java 7 was ldap/dv2k8ad.2k8.hlp.net
I dont know why Java 6 is choosing to trim the LDAP host name. If anyone knows a workaround, or a fix (short of updating Java), I'd be really grateful for any help.
Yay, resolved!
This is a bug in Java 1.6.0_22. I switched to using Java 1.6.0_45, and everything worked like a charm :)
