kinit: Cannot read password while getting initial credentials

On the domain controller against which the authentication was attempted: You may see this event in the Windows Event Viewer:

Event ID 32
The Key Distribution Center (KDC) uses a certificate without KDC Extended Key Usage (EKU) which can result in authentication failures for device certificate logon and smart card logon from non-domain-joined devices. Enrollment of a KDC certificate with KDC EKU (Kerberos Authentication template) is required to remove this warning.

 

Cause

The certificate for this particular Kerberos Domain Controller (KDC) does not contain "KDC Authentication" as an intended purpose.

Note: There may be a certificate that shows "<All>" as the intended purpose. However, the certificate may still be missing some extended properties which enable KDC Authentication.

Resolution

Reissue the KDC Authentication certificate for all Kerberos Domain Controllers (see procedures for customers).
Note: if there were other certificates being used by the KDCs, it may be necessary to restart the "Kerberos Key Distribution Center" service on the Microsoft Windows Server to make sure the Kerberos service uses the new certificate.
