We are using Wireshark Version 3.4.8. The Wireshark filter is kerberos. The keytab file is specified in KRB5 protocol preference. Keytab file has the encryption type eTYPE-AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96(18). But while monitoring the Kerberos traffic "missing keytype 18" error shows. It seems wireshark not using the Keytab file. Please help

Check the console output to see if the kerberos library spits out error information.

I am experiencing the same issue. I'm using FreeIPA in a test lab and have tried to use Wireshark both on macOS and Ubuntu 21.10 to decode the pcapng file, thinking maybe there is a difference in the Kerberos libraries used.

Here is the contents of my keytab file which was created with ipa-getkeytab

Keytab name: FILE:keytab.file
KVNO Principal

Here is what the Wireshark decode looks like

I launch Wireshark from a terminal and do not see any errors being reported.
