Let's be respectful. I'm familiar with the code.
{quote}... 3 is RFC compliant because this is a user principal. ... Therefore, 
handling HTTP/abc.com/admin in serviceName is correct to ensure the components 
can be parsed for auth_to_local mapping regardless this is a service principal 
or user principal.
{quote}
Putting forth the argument that a 2+ component principal is really a UPN (MIT 
enterprise parse option) means the principal is a single opaque component. 
There is no $2 or $3. The ability to rewrite becomes limited. The ability to 
support host restrictions is lost. That’s likely not what you want.

Please clarify what are the form of these non-standard principals? If the 
second component is a host, then you really want my suggested option #3. It 
strikes a balance in consistency of serviceName and host regardless of number 
of components, and allows referencing additional components via $3, $4, etc 
since it’s treated as a SPN.
{quote}However, username may handle incorrectly by splitting by "/" in Hadoop 
logic in the attempt to keep both simple security and kerberos security look a 
like.
{quote}
That's incorrect. It supports interop between secure clients and insecure 
servers. Insecure servers treats principals as principals, else as the short 
name used by insecure clients.

> ([https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.5/krb5-1.5.4/doc/krb5-user/What-is-a-Kerberos-Principal_003f.html])
