5		-The guide I followed was https://wiki.debian.org/LDAP/OpenLDAPSetup#Kerberos which while it worked required some minor tweaks. I obtained edit privileges for the Debian Wiki and updated the guide with the fixes that I found. I however have a Synology NAS and that can run an LDAP Server. So this guide differs a little from the upstream Debian Guide.

7		-I will assume that you have installed the LDAP Server package on your NAS and gone through initial configuration steps, so it has a domain, there is a DN you can bind as and so forth. The Synology NAS can be leveraged for a multitude of things, and running DNS, DHCP, WebServices and Containers are but a few. I will also assume you have a Debian system (12.5 or later, though this guide should work with 11.x and likely 10.x as well) that will become your KDC and KAdmin server.

9		-I also recommend that you create actual ~#~#.ldif~#~# files rather than use here-documents as used in this guide. It is far easier to make adjustments to things if you have a file to edit rather than having to type it all out again or paste it and then have to try and make edits to it without making mistakes. The guide is for illustration and expectation is that you do not follow it verbatim but adapt it to your needs.

32		-Having an index on the ##krbPrincipalName## improves performance and also suppresses some log messages if ##slapd## is configured to log more than default for the database(s) where you intend to store Kerberos data. As this is OpenLDAP on the Synology, it does not use ~#~###mdb~#~### format, it uses ##~#~#bdb~#~###. If you install ~#~#slapd~#~# on Debian, it uses ~#~#mdb~#~# format.

47		-Next, you 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##. I diverge from the official Debian guide here as I do not agree with the DN they use. I also had to make changes to the DNs of ~#~#kdc~#~# and ~#~#kadmin~#~# due to ~#~#pwdPolicy~#~# applied by Synology to their LDAP server. The official guide will have you use placeholder passwords and that does not work with the Synology LDAP server. You need to generate them upfront with ~#~#slappasswd~#~#.
