kinit: Cannot find KDC for requested realm while getting initial credentials

Changed these

[libdefaults]
default_realm = DOMAIN.LOCAL
dns_lookup_realm = true
dns_lookup_kdc = true

probably best to use authconfig-tui to modify Kerberos settings on CentOS.

Hi ,

I am getting
kinit: Cannot resolve servers for KDC in realm "Earthsbigen-AD.sbigen.in" while getting initial credentials
after setting the values

dns_lookup_realm = true
dns_lookup_kdc = true

in krb5.conf file.

Any idea.
