Description
We currently have reference docs for Kerberos provisioning, but no guide for how to set it up, i.e. how to connect 'stackable' to a krb5/AD. This is essential for HDFS, as it only supports Kerberos.
- How do you need to configure the KRB5 KDC for secret-op to be able to connect?
- How do you need to configure the SecretClass to be able to use that KDC?
- How do you verify that it all works? ("Create two pods that mount krb5 secrets, bind a server from one and connect to it from the other")
We may or may not also want to cover setting up a KDC from scratch.. it's not really part of the SDP but it's also critical for being able to use HDFS securely at all.

Research direction
Start with the linked SecretClass reference documentation and the existing Kerberos provisioning guidance. Document the required KDC configuration, SecretClass settings, and a verification flow using two pods that mount Kerberos secrets, bind a server in one pod, and connect from the other; clarify whether setting up a KDC from scratch is in scope.
