Active Directory authentication, Kerberos Realms

    OK, so I'm trying to use Kerberos/LDAP/SSSD to authenticate linux clients. The problem I'm having is that our Active Directory was originally set up with a company.local domain but I'm guessing the users UPN's were updated in AD to match their email addresses, user@company.com.

    So I can authenticate users with a user@company.local UPN but not user@company.com. What I think I want to do is somehow override or alias company.com to company.local. Here's my current /etc/krb5.conf:
    
    [logging]
     default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
     kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
     admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log
    
    [libdefaults]
     dns_lookup_realm = false
     dns_lookup_kdc = false
     ticket_lifetime = 24h
     renew_lifetime = 7d
     forwardable = true
    
     default_realm = COMPANY.LOCAL
    
    [realms]
    COMPANY.LOCAL = {
      admin_server = dc0.company.local
      kdc = dc0.company.local
    }
    [domain_realm]
     company = COMPANY.LOCAL
     .company = COMPANY.LOCAL
    

    The error message I'm seeing when trying to log in as a user with a company.com UPN:
    su: pam_sss(su:auth): system info: [Cannot find KDC for requested realm]
    
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    OK, so finally solved this. It was as simple as adding:
    COMPANY.COM = {
      admin_server = dc0.company.local
      kdc = dc0.company.local
    }
    
    to the [realms] section. Thought I had already tried this, oh well.
