Kerberos_principal_aliases#

reading this: “The old aliases will be kept unchanged so that the user/host/service can continue to use old credentials for authentication. “ I am thinking … why are you keeping the old name ?

If a rename happens the admin may (or not) want to keep the older name as an alias, I think it should be a CLI/UI option whether to keep the old name as an alias or not something like –retain-old-princ-as-alias as an option to the rename command.

The default should be to retain I guess, otherwise deployed keytabs will stop working. The CLI should emit a warning if a host is renamed (do we allow renaming of hosts at all ?) that a keytab should be re-issued to match the new canonical name.

Q: Shold e enhance the ipa-getkeytab utiity to know about the canonical name and use that in the keytab by default ??
