hi, there i got problem on testing kerberos now, i have already test the DNS and its working
fine, but am on final steps to finish configure SAMBA as AD,

The error i encounter is this.

kinit administrator@TEST.COM
kinit: Cannot contact any KDC for realm 'TEST.COM' while getting initial credentials

my /etc/krb5.conf file has this arguments

[libdefaults]
default_realm = TEST.COM
dns_lookup_realm = false
dns_lookup_kdc = true

[realms]

TEST.COM = {
kdc = TEST.COM
admin_server = TEST.COM

}

[domain_realm]
.test.com = TEST.COM
test.com = TEST.COM

and my /etc/hosts file has this arguments.

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

10.0.0.100 modee.test.com


Please if any one can direct me to solve this problem, please i need your assistent.

thanks in Advance.

According to krb5.conf, the KDC is called "test.com", while your hosts file has an entry for "modee.test.com". You need to make sure the KDC entry points to a name that resolves.

(You might want to consider setting up a local DNS zone, which is way better than using the hosts file. And if your Kerberos implementation happens to be Heimdal, you can then create SRV records for the KDC and get rid of krb5.com entirely.)

Do you mean the name which i type on /etc/resolv.conf file ?
if that there is another issue on this file whenever i restart the computer and connect to internet Network Manager generate
another nameserver and remove the domain name i typed.

what should be written on /etc/resolv.conf is

domain test.com
search test.com

nameserver 10.0.0.20

But what happen is when restart or connect to internet.

Generated by NetworkManager
search test.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1

And to what you have suggest on create SRV record for the KDC, honestly no idea about it if possible
walk me through step by step.

Thanks

Thanks a lot it work, when I change the KDC name and made exactly what I kept on /etc/hosts file,

Thanks a lot really appreciated.

May Allah bless you and your family.[COLOR="Silver"]
