#202 krb_rdns is inconsistent with krb5.conf
Closed: Dropped Opened by puiterwijk.

The krb_rdns option is wrongly named if consistency with krb5.conf option names is what was aimed for.
The krb5.conf rdns options makes krb5 do a reverse dns lookup (so ip -> hostname) to get the eventual target principal name.
The koji krb_rdns option is equivalent to krb5.conf's dns_canonicalize_hostname option, in that it performs a forward DNS query to get the A record name behind CNAMEs.


krb_canonicalize_hostname or just canonicalize_hostname? I would also add some deprecation message and period for usage of krb_rdns.

@mikem ?

I think in light of #599, this option is less wrongly named than just wrong. The upcoming krb_canon_host option has the desired name and better behavior.
