Same error after upgrading krb5 packages from 1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.3 to 1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.4.
Adding a principal in a subtree outside the realm container fails. Realm container DN is "cn=TEST.EXAMPLE.COM,cn=krbContainer,dc=example,dc=com" But realm has subtree "dc=example,dc=com", with scope = SUB: # kdb5_ldap_util -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" -H ldap://ldapserver.example.com view -r TEST.EXAMPLE.COM Realm Name: TEST.EXAMPLE.COM Subtree: dc=example,dc=com SearchScope: SUB So I should add a principal anywhere in "dc=example,dc=com" , e.g. "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to krb5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817955 Title: Getting new "DN is out of the realm subtree" error on adding principal Status in krb5 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Recently applied security update to 14.04.5 LTS kerberos (1.12+dfsg- 2ubuntu5.4), and started getting errors when adding new principals to LDAP. Obfuscated example: kadmin.local -q "ank -x dn=\"uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com\" -pw \"dummypass\" testuser" now gives: Authenticating as principal root/ad...@test.example.com with password. NOTICE: no policy specified for testu...@test.example.com; assigning "default" add_principal: DN is out of the realm subtree while creating "testu...@test.example.com". This worked up through 1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.3, and I think it now fails due to changes in src/plugins/kdb/ldap/libkdb_ldap/ldap_principal2.c in response to CVE-2018-5729 or CVE-2018-5730. I'm going to attempt a downgrade to 1.12+dfsg-2ubuntu5.3 to check.
