Kerberos failed to create a principal

[Ido Levy]

Hello,

We are running kerberos server that use LDAP as his DB.
Until today everything works  fine but suddenly user creation failed as you
can see in the following example:

      kadmin.local:  addprinc -randkey user40
      NOTICE: no policy specified for user40 at REALM
      assigning "default". Note that policy may be overridden by
      ACL restrictions.
      Unable to randomize key for "user40 at REALM"
      Status 0x29c250c - Principal does not exist.

      kadmin.local:  getprinc user40
      Unable to retrieve principal "user40 at REALM"
            Status 0x29c250c - Principal does not exist.

The error message we get in kadmin.log file is:

      local6:err|error kadmin.local[782428]: LDAP:
/blddir/krb514/src/plugins/ldap/ira_entry.c(193), 32: LDAP_NO_SUCH_OBJECT


If you did encounter similar problem any advice/direction in how to
isolate/find/understand where is the problem would be appreciated.

Thank You !!
