So I had upgraded my wife’s MacBook to Lion and discovered that, once again, Apple screwed around with Kerberos. This seems to be a recurring theme (and not a good one). After quite a bit of fighting and figuring, a few things have been sorted out. Once I’ve got it completely figured out, I’ll document it on my wiki but in the meantime (since there is a severe shortage of good info about Kerberos in Lion), here’s the skinny:
Anyways, the point is it’s messy. There is an ongoing discussion on the Apple support forums here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3189202 so if you’re experiencing some oddness (or getting things to work!) please either note in the comments here or on that discussion thread. I would really like to get subversion and Chrome working with kerberos auth again – those are the only two things preventing me from going forward with Lion on other systems.
