I can connect to a 1.15 kadmind with the 1.17 kadmin.&nbsp; While there may be a behavior difference leading to a connection error in your deployment, there is not a universal incompatibility.<br />
<br />
Please collect trace logs of the 1.15 and 1.17 kadmin clients, by setting the KRB5_TRACE environment variable to a filename (&quot;KRB5_TRACE=/path/to/filename kadmin&quot;).<br />
