<p>The realm object is created under the

This operation will also create the Kerberos container, if not
present already. This will be used to store information related to
all realms.</p>

</div></blockquote>
<p>With the LDAP back end it is possible to provide aliases for principal
entries. Currently we provide no mechanism provided for creating
aliases, so it must be done by direct manipulation of the LDAP
entries.</p>
<p>An entry with aliases contains multiple values of the
<em>krbPrincipalName</em> attribute. Since LDAP attribute values are not
ordered, it is necessary to specify which principal name is canonical,
by using the <em>krbCanonicalName</em> attribute. Therefore, to create
aliases for an entry, first set the <em>krbCanonicalName</em> attribute of
the entry to the canonical principal name (which should be identical
to the pre-existing <em>krbPrincipalName</em> value), and then add additional
<em>krbPrincipalName</em> attributes for the aliases.</p>
<p>Principal aliases are only returned by the KDC when the client
requests canonicalization. Canonicalization is normally requested for
service principals; for client principals, an explicit flag is often
required (e.g., <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">kinit</span> <span class="pre">-C</span></tt>) and canonicalization is only performed
for initial ticket requests.</p>
