Missing winkerberos

[Bart]

After installing on clean Kali installation (also plays part on macOS), the following module is missing.

bloodyAD -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ldap3/protocol/sasl/kerberos.py", line 47, in <module>
    import winkerberos
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'winkerberos'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    from bloodyAD.main import main

    raise LDAPPackageUnavailableError('package gssapi (or winkerberos) missing')
ldap3.core.exceptions.LDAPPackageUnavailableError: package gssapi (or winkerberos) missing

Installing winkerberos from pypi will result in error (both OS).

Fixed by installing requests-kerberos - python3 -m pip install requests-kerberos

Hello Bart, thanks to raise this issue! It's normally a ldap3 dependency but i didn't anticipate this side effect with my patching. Anyway I had to handle it because the error and the way to fix it can be non-intuitive for the user. See a0cfa21

I'm surprised that installing requests-kerberos fixed the issue for you because it doesn't seem to rely on gssapi or winkerberos. So the import issue should still be triggered I guess?
Btw winkerberos is for Windows environments, this is why you couldn't install it on Kali.
