Resolution

On Linux the default filename is the krb5.conf, on Windows it is the krb5.ini.

The default locations are as follows:

Windows - c:\Windows\krb5.ini

Linux - /etc/krb5/krb5.conf

 

We do not provide this file, but there is a sample in the documentation. It can be customized per your needs.

 

On Linux you can place the custom file in an alternate path by updating the environment variable, KRB5_CONF= <custompath>
