JamfConnect error "unable to reach any KDC in realm"

Help! We're migrating to Jamf Connect from AD, and we've done successful testing and migrations and I've been setting up user accounts with no issues. But all of a sudden today when I went to change someone's password using the menu bar agent, I got this error: "Unable to reach any KDC in realm xxxxxxx, tried 10 KDCs"

Nothing has changed in our infrastructure that I am aware of; does anyone know what would cause this? I am freaking out a little.

Welp, turns out it was a firewall issue. So, I guess I'll leave this up to help others who encounter this glitch; check your ACLs for anything that would prevent traffic between the host and the KDC server.

What happens if you run kinit from terminal? What about klist

Typically that error is because of a network issue. Are you in an or using a VPN?

No VPN, DC is reachable via running Test-NetConnection in powershell on a pc on the same subnet.

kinit and klist return the following, though I'll admit I've never used these commands before. Kerberos is outside my normal wheelhouse:

Ticketviewer is also totally blank, and when I try to manually grab a ticket, I get an error of "Incorrect password." which isn't true because I just created that account using the very same password.

EDIT: I appreciate the response, btw!



It does appear to be some kind of networking issue, because I'm not getting the error even on the same subnet when I'm joined to a different WiFi SSID.
