kinit: Cannot find KDC for realm

it's been a couple days that i am hitting my head against the wall with this problem, and nothing works, i'm in one VirtualBox and i don't no anymore where to go with that. I'm using the Ubuntu Server

thats its the problem:

kinit: Cannot find KDC for realm "XXXXXX.LOCAL" while getting initial credentials

krb5.conf:

[libdefaults]
        default_realm = XXXXXX.LOCAL
        dns_lookup_realm = false
        dns_lookup_kdc = true

[realms]
OPAQUE.LOCAL = {
        default_domain = xxxxxxx.local
}

[domain_realm]
        opqserver = XXXXXX.LOCAL


klist: No credentials cache found (filename: /tmp/krb5cc_1000)

cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver XX.XX.XX.179
domain XXXXXX.LOCAL
nameserver 8.8.8.8

i tried to change inside de krb5.conf with:

[libdefaults]
        default_realm = XXXXXX.LOCAL
        dns_lookup_realm = true
        dns_lookup_kdc = true

        forward = true
        forwardable = true

[realms]
OPAQUE.LOCAL = {
        default_domain = xxxxxxx.local
        kdc = XXXXX.LOCAL
        

}

[domain_realm]
        opqserver = XXXXXX.LOCAL

Your Kerberos configuration file contains a definition for the OPAQUE.LOCAL realm but not for the XXXXXX.LOCAL realm.

Since the default realm in your Kerberos configuration is XXXXXX.LOCAL (line default_realm = XXXXXX.LOCAL in krb5.conf), when you run the kinit command, Kerberos will look for the definition of the realm XXXXXX.LOCAL, which is missing in your file.

My other answer where I provide a quick guide for setting up Kerberos might also help!
