I recently got a Kerberos domain working on my server by following this guide, and I authenticate to the server upon login on my desktop computer (or any other client machines that are joined).
However one day my server went down, and bam! I was unable to log in to my client computers because they couldn't contact the Kerberos server.
(Note: This is straight Kerberos. No NFSv4, no other services integrated with Kerberos - just Kerberos in a test environment).
In the Windows world, if your domain server(s) go down you can always log in to the a local machine user account rather than the domain account.
In this case I only have a single account on my client computer (no account on the server, just a principal)...but my local one still tries to authenticate against the Kerberos server upon login. Is there a way to ditch this Kerberos authentication in a tough situation and simply log in without it?
