Hi, all: 

Now the error of "86 Unknown authentication method" is gone. But a new error pops up: 
==============================================
<apManager> (Fri Mar 13 2009 13:34:19.846) <p8124,t3078597536,aba_ldap_interface.c,2373>
     INFO>> SASL Login
<apManager> (Fri Mar 13 2009 13:35:07.089) <p8124,t3078597536,aba_ldap_interface.c,2388>
     INFO>> SASL LDAP BIND with GSSAPI: Value of ldapStatus 82
<apManager> (Fri Mar 13 2009 13:35:07.089) <p8124,t3078597536,aba_ldap_interface.c,2459>
    ERROR>> LDAP BIND: Value of ldap failure status and text 82 Local error
==============================================
What does this "local error" with the function ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_ext_s() mean? 

Fortunately, I found some info about this error at http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html:
==============================================
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Local error 
ldap/hostname service principal not set up 
or your Kerberos ticket is expired 
==============================================
Using klist, it is verified that a Kerberos ticket exists and has not expired. So does it mean the service principal is not set up? What is a service principle? I don't have any knowledge about it at all. Please shed some light on it, and give me some suggestions to set it up.

And how come it taks nearly 1 min to get this error from SASL2 library? Incredibly long.

Looking forward to help,
Xu Qiang
