Microsoft is releasing several Windows updates that are supposed to fix failed logins and other issues related to Kerberos authentication.
This patch wave follows the last Patch Tuesday. The firm explains that these bugs are linked to the “updates” offered during the major maintenance in November. One of the main issues is with Windows servers having a domain controller role with Kerberos authentication enabled.
In recent days the errors have multiplied. It was postponed
- Domain connection problems but also AD FS (Active Directory Federation Services) authentication,
- Authentication issues with gMSAs used for services such as Internet services (IIS Web server). gMSA stands for Group Managed Service Accounts,
- Remote Desktop connections using domain users not possible,
- difficulties in accessing shared folders on workstations and file shares on servers.
- Unable to print if domain user authentication is used.
On the “General Public” segment, the good news is that all these bugs are unlikely to cause many victims. Why ? The PC must be part of a local domain.
