Resolution

This problem may occur if the only Domain Controller (DC) available for authentication is excluded from the list of Domain Controllers available for  authentication in uxauth.ini. In this case, UNAB will be able to contact the DC but it will be unable to retrieve credentials or Kerberos tickets. This may happen if- for instance- UNAB was set up with DC which are no longer available.

Editing the list of DC available for authentication in uxauth.ini to include the valid one(s) or remove the list of DC and leave the none default will solve the issue.
