It is different database format, but the principle is the same. Again, as you are modifying config, the DN is ##cn=config##. Interestingly, it is still the main password you set for the Synology LDAP server.

294 +
295 +Worth to note here is that ##user@EXAMPLE.COM## and ##user/admin@EXAMPLE.COM## can have (and probably should have) different passwords. The admin variant is allowed to do things to the kerberos database and should therefore have greater security. This is why you want to have the registering of failures to login enabled. Should you have the system exposed to the internet, you can and should expect intrusion attempts. Having Kerberos deployed makes it harder for perpetrators to gain access, but not impossible.
296 +
297 +If you later kerberise your storage and leverage it for NFS4 mounts from your NAS, you can have NFS exposed to the internet as well. Unless someone has a valid kerberos ticket, even if they somehow could mount a share, they see nothing on it without the krbtgt.

300 +=== Test your new principal ===
301 +
302 +Acid test is, can you authenticate with kinit?

320 +Congratulations - you now have Kerberos working, and to boot, the database sits in LDAP. Which you can inspect with something like:
321 +
322 +(% style="color:#400" %)
323 +##{{{
324 +$ ldapsearch -H ldaps://nas.example.com -D uid=root,cn=users,dc=example,dc=com -W -b ou=kerberos,dc=example,dc=com
325 +}}}##
326 +
327 +
328 +=== Set up pam and sssd ===
329 +
330 + To fully leverage your shiny new KDC, you will want to install the Kerberos authentication pieces for ##PAM## and also ##sssd## to facilitate caching of authentication, in case your KDC is offline for some reason when you try to authenticate into another system.
331 +
332 +(% style="color:#400" %)
333 +##{{{
334 +$ sudo apt install krb5-user libpam-krb5 sssd-krb5
335 +...
336 +$ sudo pam-auth-update
337 +}}}##
338 +
339 +
340 +With ##pam-auth-update## you want to enable Kerberos and SSS authentication (and flip on the auto-creation of home directories while you are there). If you now want to test login on another system with kerberos, you need ##/etc/krb5.conf## and the ##krb5-user##, ##libpam-krb5## and ##sssd-krb5## packages installed on this new system and you need to run ##pam-auth-update## to enable Kerberos and SSS. After that, the system does not need local ##user## (in /etc/passwd) - the kerberos ##user## will work instead.
