  • kinit: Realm not local to KDC while getting initial credentials

    Posted on

    Hi

    I am configuring a RHEL 6.7 server so that I can use kinit to get tickets from a Windows 2008R2 Active Directory. This AD infrastructure has a parent domain and several child domains, the user with which I am testing is in one of the subdomains (US.COMPANY.LOCAL). Iconfigured /etc/krb5.conf the following way:

    [root@server001 ~]# cat /etc/krb5.conf 
    [logging]
     default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
     kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
     admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log
    
    [libdefaults]
     default_realm = US.COMPANY.LOCAL
     dns_lookup_realm = false
     dns_lookup_kdc = false
     ticket_lifetime = 24h
     renew_lifetime = 7d
     forwardable = true
    
    [realms]
     US.COMPANY.LOCAL = {
      kdc = dc2.ena.us.company.local
      admin_server = dc2.ena.us.company.local
      default_domain = US.COMPANY.LOCAL
     }
    
    [domain_realm]
     .us.company.local = US.COMPANY.LOCAL
     us.company.local = US.COMPANY.LOCAL
    [root@server001 ~]# 
    

    When I test with kinit, I get this:

    [root@server001 ~]# kinit -V B05303A
    Using default cache: /tmp/krb5cc_0
    Using principal: B05303A@US.COMPANY.LOCAL
    kinit: Realm not local to KDC while getting initial credentials
    [root@server001 ~]# 
    

    Any help is appreciated.
