How do I get e-text from Kerberos error?

843810Jun 18 2008 — edited Jun 19 2008

My client is throwing a Kerberos Exception. The message says "description in e-text", but I can't seem to get the e-text from the KrbException. Does any one know how to get this so that I know what exactly is the error all about?

I tried the following, but the KrbException doesn't seem to have any appropriate method to extract this:

try {
token = context.initSecContext(token, 0, token.length);
} catch (org.ietf.jgss.GSSException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
KrbException e1 = (KrbException) e.getCause();
System.out.println(e1.getMessage());
System.exit(1);
}


Here is the actual stack trace:


Exception in thread "main" java.security.PrivilegedActionException: GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Generic error (description in e-text) (60) - Generic error (see e-text))
