From 8dff2f224f4f49ddd4f45f590e7f46b160a4951b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Frost Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2023 10:32:49 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] For Kerberos testing, disable reverse DNS lookup In our Kerberos test suite, there isn't much need to worry about the normal canonicalization that Kerberos provides by looking up the reverse DNS for the IP address connected to, and in some cases it can actively cause problems (eg: a captive portal wifi where the normally not resolvable localhost address used ends up being resolved anyway, and not to the domain we are using for testing, causing the entire regression test to fail with errors about not being able to get a TGT for the remote realm for cross-realm trust). Therefore, disable it by adding rdns = false into the krb5.conf that's generated for the test.
