+You get this error when you configure the /etc/krb5.conf file to use
a domain name that you cannot resolve correctly. Its strange becuase often I find that if I do an nslookup of the server name, it works properly. However, if I enter the domain name of kdc server inside /etc/krb5.conf I get this error. Its a relatively easy fix. Just change the domain name into the IP address of your kdc server
.

-Usually when configuring kerberos for syncing with active directory
, its one
of the first things
that you do, particuarly if you want set up Samba for
the ADS security model. One of the most essential things
that you need to have configured is kerberos
, as its
required before you can even consider using
Active Directory. Because kerberos is so essential
, I often find it more useful
to configure my /etc/krb5
.conf using IP addresses rather than the domain name because, if
for some reason the DNS service on the windows box goes down, I can still contact it for kerberos tickets. Just my $.02
+Actually
, I think using an IP addresss rather than domain names to be a better way
of configuring this file anyway. The reason
that most people need to configure /etc/krb5.conf is to enable
the ADS security model in Samba
. If you find
that your DNS service
, required for
Active Directory, to be a bit finicky or slightly unreliable and your server has a static IP then you can almost always assure that you'll get a ticket
. If
for some reason the DNS service on the windows box goes down, I can still contact it for kerberos tickets. Just my $.02.
