Re: [krbdev.mit.edu #8945] krb5kdc: the 32 realms limit

<URL: https://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=8945 >

Hello,

In my use case, all things shall go in a single Kerberos DataBase
(KDB), all under LDAP(kldap).  Say it this way: I want to have many
users, and each user gets a separate domain.  REALM=DOMAIN.  So there
are many realms with very few users in each.

Greetings
