When running:

`sudo mount -t nfs4 -o sec=krb5 sol.domain.com:/ /mnt`

I get this error on the client:

mount.nfs4: access denied by server while mounting sol.domain.com:/

And on the server syslogs

UNKNOWN_SERVER: authtime 0,  nfs/[email protected] for nfs/ip-#-#-#-#[email protected], Server not found in Kerberos database
UNKNOWN_SERVER: authtime 0,  nfs/[email protected] for krbtgt/[email protected], Server not found in Kerberos database
