Description

Only one KDC can be set in a SecretClass:

---
apiVersion: secrets.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: SecretClass
spec:
  backend:
    kerberosKeytab:
      kdc: KDC1.MY.REALM.COM

In a krb5.conf, multiple KDCs can be given:

[realms]

MY.REALM.COM = {
kdc = KDC1.MY.REALM.COM
kdc = KDC2.MY.REALM.COM
}

To support high availability, it should be possible to also define multiple KDCs in a SecretClass.

Research direction

Start with the SecretClass.spec.backend.kerberosKeytab.kdc field and trace how its value is handled for krb5.conf configuration. Determine the existing validation and configuration path, then verify that multiple KDC entries can be defined and provide high availability without breaking the single-KDC form.
