## Description

### **Environment**:

Your OpenProject Version: 12.07 EoP / Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS

OpenProject language: English

###   

### **Steps to reproduce:**

1.  OpenProject up and running
2.  Configure Kerberos Authentication
3.  this involves adding a config file at /etc/openproject/kerberos.conf
4.  save your work, try authenticating
5.  run openproject (re)configure

### **Actual Behavior**

/etc/openproject/kerberos.conf will be deleted with each configure run

### **Expected Behavior**

/etc/openproject/kerberos.conf shall not be touched in any case

it must manually be added and therefore I suppose it should only manually be deleted
