Map Foreign Environments

Corresponding to the local (default) realm and local principal users in the local system are the concepts of foreign realm and foreign principal user. The foreign realm is mapped into a web address, which the Kerberos server will contact for tickets. Foreign realms must be defined to the Kerberos configuration file. The corresponding SDT definition defines a trust relationship between the local web‑address and the foreign web‑address. The foreign principal definition defines a mapping from a user and a web‑address into a local ACID. Foreign principals are not defined in the Kerberos configuration file.
