     * We need to compare the client name in the TGT with the requested

     * global name service makes this difficult to do.
     *
     * The comparison below handles the following cases (note that the
     * term "principal name" below excludes the realm).
     *
     * (1) The requested service is a host-based service with two name
     *     components, in which case we assume the principal name to
     *     contain sufficient qualifying information. The realm is
     *     ignored for the purpose of comparison.
     *
     * (2) The requested service name is an enterprise principal name:
     *     the service principal name is compared with the unparsed
     *     form of the client name (including its realm).
     *
     * (3) The requested service is some other name type: an exact
     *     match is required.
     *
     * An alternative would be to look up the server once again with
     * FLAG_CANONICALIZE | FLAG_CLIENT_REFERRALS_ONLY set, do an exact
     * match between the returned name and client_princ. However, this
     * assumes that the client set FLAG_CANONICALIZE when requesting
     * the TGT and that we have a global name service.
