Hi @rizalt  The error below indicates that the configured KDC server does not have the admin/admin principal.

kinit: Server not found in Kerberos database while getting initial credentials

I can see that the admin and kdc server hostnames are set to admin.com from krb5.conf.

Could you verify that the hostnames for the admin and kdc servers are correct? Also check hostname  admin.com is resolving correctly from the client host
