What you need to do is exchange cross-realm keys with the other realms
whose principals you would like to be able to authenticate to your
Cosign authenticated services.

You do not want to provide the key entries associated with your cosign
installation to anyone else.  If you have done so, you should change the
keys immediately.   Anyone with access to the cosign keys can gain
access to all of the Kerberos 5 TGTs for users that have logged into
Cosign.
