[Freeipa-users] Is the krb5.conf no longer used?

[Geordie Grindle]

Does IPA only use ‘sssd.conf’ for kerberos authentication? Is there another file used to configure kerberos? 

I’ve built a host using Foreman and our puppet configuration usually pushes a krb5.conf file. However, if I delete it, everything still works fine.

What if any function does /etc/krb5.conf have now?
