<URL: http://kerborg-prod-app-1.mit.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=9137 > This does not read like a bug report. Requests for clarification about parts of the MIT krb5 code should be sent to [email protected], not to [email protected], and should ideally come with more details and less venting. For more information about that comment, see https://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/ Projects/Acceptor_Names and https://github.com/krb5/krb5/commit/ 66587fcd6380eac2c53674df4f64a827d337aee5. Since then we have also implemented support for dns_canonicalize_hostname=fallback; if that is set, the acceptor will match the originally provided hostname or the canonicalized hostname. If the preferred behavior is not to restrict the hostname part of the acceptor principal except to what is in the keytab, either the acceptor code should import a service name with no hostname part (like "HTTP" instead of "HTTP@myhostname"), or krb5.conf should contain ignore_acceptor_hostname=true.
