+ The Kerberos 5 authentication backend does not contain an identity
+ provider and must be paired with one in order to function properly (for
+ example, id_provider = ldap). Some information required by the Kerberos
+ 5 authentication backend must be provided by the identity provider, such
+ as the user's Kerberos Principal Name (UPN). The configuration of the
+ identity provider should have an entry to specify the UPN. Please refer
+ to the man page for the applicable identity provider for details on how
+ to configure this.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ In the case where the UPN is not available in the identity backend
+ <command>sssd</command> will construct a UPN using the format
+ <replaceable>username</replaceable>@<replaceable>krb5_realm</replaceable>.
