        <para>
            This manual page describes the configuration of the Kerberos
            5 authentication backend for
            <citerefentry>
                <refentrytitle>sssd</refentrytitle>
                <manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
            </citerefentry>.
            For a detailed syntax reference, please refer to the <quote>FILE FORMAT</quote> section of the
            <citerefentry>

        </para>
        <para>
            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>.
