  [ Impact ]
  
  Even if the krb5 ticket is discoverable, the discovery fails (but
  actually succeeded) So we cannot retrieve the policies or do any action
  with the controller.
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
- 1.
+ This is not something that can be easily reproduced in a real
+ environment, so the best approach to reproduce this issue is:
+ 
+ 1. Get adsys codebase before the fix.
+ 2. Run the TestTicketPath test located in internal/ad/krb5_test.go as many 
times as needed to get the failure (using `go test -count X` runs the test X 
times).
+ 3. The test can fail due to krb5_init_context changing the errno without 
returning any error. 
  
  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  We now reset errno to 0, because krb5_init_context() can alter it,  even
  if it succeeds. So the discovery always returns success when it
  succeeds.
  
  Worst case would be that discovery failed but errno is set to 0 but this
  is handled earlier in the code.
