Hi Team,

I am a developer trying to integrate Kerberos and OpenLDAP on Mac OS (snow leopard 10.6.8).

Steps followed:

1) Configured OpenLdap using the following document => 


2) Configured Kerberos using the following document => 


3) Modified Ldap and Kerberos config files to create a communication link between them.

The command used to start the ldap server is :sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -d -1 ldapi:///
The command used to start the KDC server is : /usr/local/sbin/krb5kdc

Here are the list of configuration files used : 


Issue: Able to start the KDC server before executing the step 3. But after executing the step 3, we see the below exception in the logs: 
krb5kdc: cannot initialize realm MYREALM.COM - see log file for details
krb5kdc: Unable to load requested database module 'kldap': plugin symbol 'kdb_function_table' not found - while initializing database for realm MYREALM.COM

The commands make install and make check while installing Kerberos does not show any errors in logs.

Could you please help.

Thanks,
Vamsi
