Heimdal 1.5.2: "unknown mech-code 2529639054 for mech 1 3 6 1 4 1 311 2 2 10"


I am experiencing the same error that Corinna Vinschen have reported on cygwin-apps mailing list about a year ago without any obvious resolution(*), and I was wondering whether somebody was able to resolve it since.

I am running Heimdal's kinit (as came with MobaXterm 6.2) under Windows 7 to get a ticket from a Windows AD, and then ssh'ing into RHEL 5 and 6 boxes set up to use pam_krb to authenticate against the same Windows AD.  gssapi-with-mic authentication succeeds, but credential delegation does not, and I see the same "unknown mech-code 2529639054 for mech 1 3 6 1 4 1 311 2 2 10" error(**) previously reported. This is an issue in my environment, where Kerberos-secured NFS is used to provide access to home directories.

One thing I did notice is that when I ssh into an RHEL box, afterwards kinit on the client (Cygwin) side shows a ticket for the RHEL host (as expected), yet it shows that the ticket lacks the "forwardable" flag, which would probably explain the failure to delegate credentials. So perhaps this is a problem with the SSH client on the Cygwin end ("ssh -V" reports "OpenSSH_6.1p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1c 10 May 2012"), rather than Heimdal's? The libdefaults section in krb5.conf on Cygwin does contain "forwardable = yes" and in contract to how it happens on Cygwin, the Linux->Linux ssh that does delegate credentials correctly also does obtain a forwardable ticket on the client side.

TIA for any help.
