Description Frank Greif 2022-03-01 15:21:45 CET

For certain configurations, it could be helpful to explicitly specify KDCs in krb5.conf. Currently the template takes the value of 'kerberos/kdc' into one stanza of 'kdc = <the value of kerberos/kdc>'.

MIT's docs (https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html#sample-krb5-conf-file) show there can be multiple 'kdc = ...' lines.

I'd propose changing the template of krb5.conf such that the value of 'kerberos/kdc' can contain multiple host names:

```
if kerberos_kdc:
    for kdc in kerberos_kdc.split(','):
        print('\tkdc = %s' % kdc.strip())
```
