  • PKINIT client has no configured identity; giving up?

    I'm testing out PKINIT and encountered this error in the subject line.
    Does anyone know what it's related to and/or how to debug and resolve
    it further?

    So far, PKINIT talks to the KDC, receives an MIT cookie and loads the
    identity files: client0.pem and clientkey0.pem being invoked by 'kinit
    -X X509_user_identity=FILE:/client0.pem,/clientkey0.pem". I'm still
    being requested to provide a password, which I understand should not
    be required with PKINIT.

    I'm using v1.20.2.0.

    Thanks!
