I do not think so, but I may not fully understand what "subtree" implies.
The realm was initially created with a command equivalent to: kdb5_ldap_util -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com create -subtrees dc=example,dc=com -r TEST.EXAMPLE.COM -s -H ldap://ldapserver.example.com with user entries like: dn: uid=testuser,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com I explicitly added the ou=People,dc=example,dc=com with "kdb5_ldap_util ... modify -subtrees ...", but that did not help. Setting sscope to 2 also did nothing. I can add a principal without specifying dn, but that leads to an entry like: dn: krbPrincipalName=testu...@test.example.com,cn=TEST.EXAMPLE.COM,cn=krb5,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.
