SYMPTOMS
Consider the following situation:
- You have two Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based forests, ForestA and ForestB.
- You have an external Kerberos realm.
- A forest trust is created between ForestA and ForestB.
- A Kerberos trust is created between ForestA and the Kerberos realm.
- A user account in the Kerberos realm is mapped to a user account in ForestA.
- A user logs on to a computer in ForestB by using the mapped user account.
In this scenario, if the user tries to access the resources that are in ForestA, the user is repeatedly prompted for user credentials in order to access the resources that are in ForestA. Eventually, the user cannot access the resources because the logon fails.
Additionally, the following event is logged on the client computer:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: LSASRV
Event Category: SPNEGO (Negotiator)
Event ID: 40960
User: <UserName>
Computer: <ComputerName>
Description:
The Security System detected an attempted downgrade attack for server <Server FQDN>. The failure code from authentication protocol Kerberos was "The name or SID of the domain specified is inconsistent with the trust information for that domain. (0xc000019b)".
