OK.

I do not have a kdc.conf but attached krb5.conf.  My application is to
authenticate users on a Debian machine to users maintained in ADS.

I took over the values from some other host that can do the
authentication but kadmin has the same problem.  May be I do not even
need a working kadmin in this application.  I was just following a
howto that started with getting kadmin working.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
