In cross-realm authentication, it's necessary Kerberos, it is possible to set up cross-realm authentication. This
involves having the user create a .KLOGIN file in the remote realm's home
directory. In it you place the username and hostname of the local realm.
What I don't understand is why the need for the username? I.e. is it possible
to allow authentication if the principal names are different in the different
realms? If not, then it sksto me that the remote username must match the
local realm's principal name no matter what, correct? Thanks.
