If you’ve configured Share correctly, you should see your user dashboard in Share.

You can debug Kerberos issues using the log4j properties file. This file is located at <installLocation>/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-log4j2.properties.sample.

Rename the custom-log4j2.properties.sample file to custom-log4j2.properties file and add the required configuration. For example:

logger.alfresco-web-app-servlet-KerberosAuthenticationFilter.name=org.alfresco.web.app.servlet.KerberosAuthenticationFilter
logger.alfresco-web-app-servlet-KerberosAuthenticationFilter.level=debug
logger.alfresco-repo-webdav-auth-KerberosAuthenticationFilter.name=org.alfresco.repo.webdav.auth.KerberosAuthenticationFilter
logger.alfresco-repo-webdav-auth-KerberosAuthenticationFilter.level=debug

The following is a sample login output:

18:46:27,915 DEBUG [app.servlet.KerberosAuthenticationFilter] New Kerberos auth request from 192.168.4.95 (192.168.4.95:38750)
18:46:28,063 DEBUG [app.servlet.KerberosAuthenticationFilter] User user1 logged on via Kerberos
