What does "klist" say? And can you run "kinit" to ensure you have a
valid ticket? One of my favorite failures is when the time settings
between the local host, and the Samba or AD server, have drifted from
each other. There are a lot of very awkward and inconsistent NTP or
chronyd settings out there, exacerbated when people point NTP to only
one server and that server is inaccessible to one or more hosts.

I've gotten pretty unhappy with "realmd" and "sssd". They try to hide
a lot of steps away from the user, but the internal interactions are a
bit of a "mousetrap" game. When it works, you get the mouse. But if
any of the many steps are even slightly worn, it becomes erratic or
fails.
