You should configure properly. The krb5 configuration options break from the usual format a little bit. The two options --with-krb5-dir and --with-krb5-flavor are mandatory to enable krb5 support. See the comments in Configure. Note that there have been changes in the MIT Kerberos libraries recently, and recent experience has shown that OpenSSL doesn't interface with more modern versions (1.3.0 and up, maybe?). Also, although OpenSSL has the ambition to work with Heimdal some day, it hasn't happened yet, mostly because of incompatibilities between the private functions in MIT Kerberos and Heimdal. Of course, we shouldn't use those private functions at all, but I don't have enough knowledge to figure out what we should do instead (I haven't coded the stuff we have today). I've a half promise of help from someone in the Heimdal team, but it hasn't happened yet... Because of all the current problems, we have chosen to make Kerberos support a selectable feature, to be selected "at your own risk" because it's rather shaky. When that code stabilises, I might change it to become default if available on the building system. ----- Please consider sponsoring my work on free software.
