Including the following entry in the libdefaults section of krb5.conf
    dns_lookup_kdc = false
will probably work.
and if you don't want dns for the realm either, then add the following entry as well:
    dns_lookup_realm = false

See /krb5/man/man5/krb5.conf.5 for details.

When kinit is run, it will find KDC for TGT .
Cannot contact any KDC for requested means that it can not find the KDC, probably the DNS can resolve the KDC host name. Solution is also very simple, in your krb.conf, type your kdc's ip instead of the
KDC 's host name.  hope this would help :)

I would suspect a simple error in the configuration of your local
realm in /etc/krb5.conf, or a DNS issue.

Can you post your /etc/krb5.conf ?

Hi, there,
 I set up a MIT Kerberos 5 master kdc on a pc in a private domain. I have
/etc/hosts mapping hostname of the pc to its ip address and /etc/krb5.conf
pointing kdc to the host name, which i believe correctly set.
 The problem is that, I can do kadmin.local but I just couldn't do kadmin.
It always complains:
kadmin: Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm while initializing kadmin
interface
 kinit with no parameters reports the similar error:
kinit(v5): Cannot contact any KDC for requested realm while getting initial
credentials
 but kinit works if I supply a principal from another realm (that realm and
its kdc is also set in /krb5.conf).
 I am confused that why kinit and kadmin just couldn't work in local realm?
Is this a feature or I missed any setting issues?
 Thank you very much.
