Because non-MIT Kerberos clients +sometimes send a limited set of encryption types when making AS +requests, it can be important to for the krbtgt service to support +multiple encryption types. This can be accomplished by giving the +krbtgt principal multiple keys, which is usually as simple as not +specifying any **-e** option when changing the krbtgt key, or by +setting the **session_enctypes** string attribute on the krbtgt +principal (see :ref:`set_string`). + +Due to a bug in releases 1.8 through 1.13, renewed and forwarded +tickets may not work if the original ticket was obtained prior to a +krbtgt key change and the modified ticket is obtained afterwards. +Upgrading the KDC to release 1.14 or later will correct this bug. + .. _incr_db_prop:
