    nfsd4: fix gss-proxy 4.1 mounts for some AD principals · 414ca017
    J. Bruce Fields authored
    The principal name on a gss cred is used to setup the NFSv4.0 callback,
    which has to have a client principal name to authenticate to.
    
    That code wants the name to be in the form servicetype@hostname.
    rpc.svcgssd passes down such names (and passes down no principal name at
    all in the case the principal isn't a service principal).
    
    gss-proxy always passes down the principal name, and passes it down in
    the form servicetype/hostname@REALM.  So we've been munging the name
    gss-proxy passes down into the format the NFSv4.0 callback code expects,
    or throwing away the name if we can't.
    
    Since the introduction of the MACH_CRED enforcement in NFSv4.1, we've
    also been using the principal name to verify that certain operations are
    done as the same principal as was used on the original EXCHANGE_ID call.
    
    For that application, the original name passed down by gss-proxy is also
    useful.
    
    Lack of that name in some cases was causing some kerberized NFSv4.1
    mount failures in an Active Directory environment.
    
    This fix only works in the gss-proxy case.  The fix for legacy
    rpc.svcgssd would be more involved, and rpc.svcgssd already has other
    problems in the AD case.
