Hi there

I am trying to install a KDC (kerberos) with an OpenLDAP backend, following instructions found on the MIT kerberos site. Installation went fine and I can see that the default principals have been created (kadmin, krbtgt & so on...).

However, I cannot add new principals :
   kadmin.local -q "addprinc -pw password root"
  Authenticating as principal root/admin@JAKOBI.FR with password.
  WARNING: no policy specified for root@JAKOBI.FR; defaulting to no policy
  add_principal: Principal add failed: Insufficient access while creating "root@JAKOBI.FR".


Digging a bit further, I could see the following with wireshark (after binding to the Directory as kadmin) :
147    21.719670222    127.0.0.1    127.0.0.1    LDAP    1028    addRequest(7) "krbprincipalname=root@JAKOBI.FR,cn=JAKOBI.FR,cn=kerberos,dc=jakobi,dc=fr"
148    21.720138441    127.0.0.1    127.0.0.1    LDAP    107    addResponse(7) insufficientAccessRights (no write access to parent)

My LDAP ACLs are as follows :
   {0}to attrs=userPassword,shadowLastChange by dn="cn=admin,dc=jakobi,dc=fr" write by anonymous auth by self write by * none
   {1}to dn.base="" by * read
   {2}to * by dn="cn=admin,dc=jakobi,dc=fr" write by * read
   {3}to dn.subtree="cn=JAKOBI.FR,cn=kerberos,dc=jakobi,dc=fr" by dn.exact="cn=kdc,ou=People,dc=jakobi,dc=fr" read
   {4}to dn.subtree="cn=kerberos,dc=jakobi,dc=fr" by dn.exact="cn=kadmin,ou=People,dc=jakobi,dc=fr" write


if ACL #4 refers to dn.subtree="cn=JAKOBI.FR,cn=kerberos,dc=jakobi,dc=fr" (shouldn'it be the parent of the target principal?), result is the same.

As far as I understand, rule #4 should allow me to to write within the realm subtree...

Can someone enlighten me ?

Thanks in adv.
