31 +Next, you need to create and configure two entries which will be used by the Kerberos servers to connect to OpenLDAP. As you will not run the Kerberos KDC and Admin Server on the same host as OpenLDAP, these steps are required. In order to keep things nicely separated, everything will be created under a separate ##organizationalUnit##.

37 -Next, you need to create and configure two entries which will be used by the Kerberos servers to connect to OpenLDAP. If you are running Kerberos and OpenLDAP on the same system, these steps are optional, but recommended. In order to keep things nicely separated, everything will be created under a separate ##organizationalUnit##. Note that a simple bind (##-x -D##) is used instead of an ##EXTERNAL## bind since write access to the dc=example,dc=com DIT is necessary:

69 +Now, it was at this point that I had a problem, because the LDAP server on the Synology did not like adding users with placeholder passwords. I ended up working around it using a different construct:
39 39  
40 -{{{# ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com -W <<EOF
41 -dn: ou=Services,dc=example,dc=com
42 -objectClass: organizationalUnit
43 -objectClass: top
44 -ou: Services
71 +##{{{dn: cn=kadmin,ou=kerberos,ou=Services,dc=example,dc=com}}}##
72 +##{{{sn: kadmin}}}##
73 +##{{{cn: kadmin}}}##
74 +##{{{objectClass: person}}}##
75 +##{{{objectClass: pwdPolicy}}}##
76 +##{{{pwdAttribute: userPassword}}}##
77 +##{{{pwdMinLength: 8}}}##
78 +##{{{pwdCheckQuality: 2}}}##
79 +##{{{pwdPolicySubentry: cn=kadmin,ou=kerberos,ou=Services,dc=example,dc=com}}}##
80 +##{{{userPassword: {SSHA}<hashed password>}}}##
81 +##{{{description: Kerberos Admin Server Account}}}##
45 45  
46 -dn: ou=kerberos,ou=Services,dc=example,dc=com
47 -objectClass: organizationalUnit
48 -objectClass: top
49 -ou: kerberos
83 +and that seems to have worked out fine as my KDC is fully functioning. It required modifying the rest of the guide with the fact that it no longer was ##uid=kadmin## and ##uid=kdc##, but rather ##cn=kadmin## and ##cn=kdc##. The most important thing is that it works. As an aside, I am not sure it is required to have two nested Organisation Units, ##Services## and ##kerberos## - so I will likely re-deploy and get rid of the ##Services## Organisational Unit altogether. It shortens the DN's used for binds to LDAP and limits the risk for typos. I also find it highly unlikely that deploying this in a real organisation that there would be an existing Organisational Unit called '##kerberos##' while the risk for there being an existing department called '##Services##' is much more likely.
