How to create a kerberos keytab for Active Directory with ktutil with default SALT

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Why my keytab does not work with kinit?
  • Why I can kinit as a user, but my keytab failed?
  • How can I create a RC4-HMAC keytab?
  • My ktutil does not let me specify the SALT, can I still obtain a keytab?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
  • Active Directory (AD) as Kerberos key distribution center (KDC)
    • RC4-HMAC (Which does not require SALT); or
    • Default SALT (<REALM><UserName>) is used
