If the krb5.conf file is not formatted properly, then the following error message maybe displayed to the terminal or the log file:
Improper format of Kerberos /etc/krb5/krb5.conf configuration file while initializing krb5 library |
If there is a problem with the format of the krb5.conf file, then the associated services are vulnerable to attach. You should fix the problem before you allow Kerberos features to be used.
