KRB5 Config File Path on Windows

[jds_mck]

• What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?

• Grafana Cloud with latest PDC

• What are you trying to achieve?
  Configuring MSSQL datasource

• How are you trying to achieve it?
  Going through basic configuration documentation.

• What happened?
  Unable to load krb5 config file

• What did you expect to happen?

• Expected for test to succeed or fail based on username/password

• Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?

• Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.

• Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
  Microsoft SQL Server data source | Grafana documentation

Why is the datasource asking looking for /etc/krb5.conf on a windows system?

I’ve seen exactly same error in my Grafana Cloud instance, the reason why this happens is stated by Grafana team like this:

“Windows Active Directory (Kerberos) authentication is not supported in Grafana Cloud at the moment.”

Taken from here: Get started with Grafana and MS SQL Server | Grafana documentation

So it is just not supported yet and will not work for now. Sorry!
