I have Kerberos Authentication working for PostgreSQL 8.4 on Debian
Squeeze, against a Windows 2000 Server Domain.  I tried upgrading some
test servers to Debian Wheezy which upgrades PostgreSQL to 9.1, but
Kerberos authentication breaks with the "Wrong principal in request" error.

These servers ultimately use Apache2/mod-auth-kerb/php5-cgi to do SSO in
a Windows web browser and that gets passed to PostgreSQL, but I have the
issue with psql as well and that is where I normally start
troubleshooting.  Mod-Auth-Kerb in Apache2 continues to authenticate and
work after the upgrade, only PostgreSQL stops working.

Here is everything I've looked at and the results I get - I am baffled
on why this stopped working with 9.1, my config is the same, hostnames,
DNS, clocks, etc. look good and nothing changed there.  Below is from a
fresh, clean install of Debian Wheezy/ PostgreSQL 9.1 on a new test VM
and I still get the error.  If anyone sees something I am doing wrong or
something I missed and should be looking into, your advice would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh
