Technical Summary
There are some issues when the cross-realm operation of the Kerberos
Version 5 [RFC4120] will emerge when deployed into real world systems.
This document describes two classes of fairly complex systems where
cross-realm kereberos could be applied, and lists requirements and
restriction of the operation in such systems. Then it describes issues
when we apply the cross-realm operation to such systems.
Working Group Summary

of issues which may impede some deployments. Solutions to some of
these problems are under active development.
