[Freeipa-devel] [DESIGN] Kerberos principal alias handling

[Martin Babinsky]

Hi list,

I have put together a draft [1] outlining the effort to reimplement the 
handling of Kerberos principals in both backend and frontend layers of 
FreeIPA so that we may have multiple aliases per user, host or service 
and thus implement stuff like 
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/3961 and 
https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5413 .

Since much of the plumbing was already implemented,[2] the document 
mainly describes what the patches do. Some parts required by other use 
cases may be missing so please point these out.

I would also be happy if you could correct all factual inacurracies, I 
did research on this issue a long time ago and my knowledge turned a bit 
rusty.
