hi, ? i have recently installed a samba 4 in a DC role. The distribution is a debian jessie/sid, the version of samba is 4.1.7. The server is globally working but there is some litle trouble. on the server itself, i can do a kinit without probleme but if i try a kpasswsd, i obtain the following ? root at station:/var/log/samba# kinit Password for administrator at TOTO.FR: root at station:/var/log/samba# klist Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0 Default principal: administrator at TOTO.FR Valid starting?????? Expires????????????? Service principal 09/05/2014 09:23:42? 09/05/2014 19:23:42? krbtgt/TOTO.FR at TOTO.FR ??? renew until 10/05/2014 09:23:38 root at station:/var/log/samba# kpasswd [10 sec later ....] kpasswd: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm getting initial ticket ? ? the smb.conf file is the following : ? [global] ??????? workgroup = TOTO ??????? realm = TOTO.FR ??????? netbios name = station ??????? server role = active directory domain controller ??????? server services = s3fs, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl, winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, dns ??????? idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes ??????? dns forwarder = 129.20.128.39 ??????? allow dns updates = nonsecure #?????? winbind rpc only = yes ??????? log level = 4 ??????? ntp signd socket directory = /var/lib/samba/ntp_signd [netlogon] ??????? path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol/ietr.univ-rennes1.fr/scripts ??????? read only = No [sysvol] ??????? path = /var/lib/samba/sysvol ??????? read only = No [demo] ??????? path = /share/demo ??????? read only = no ? and the krb5.conf is the following : ?

So my questions are : ? - is there any way for me to know what kind of encoding samba4/kerberos expect on the server side ? - what is the location of the credential for all the user on the server side ? are they stored in the ldap part of samba4 ? - does any one see what i can do to fix this mess ? ? ? best regards
