The value is assigned in RFC4120 section 7.5.8, but without details as to 
the expected name form.  What you're seeing is the most common usage for 
this name type.  Note that Kerberos principal name types are advisory; they 
generally do not need to match.

You only said "I tried... but failed."  How did you fail?  Were you unable 
to type the backslash, or perhaps the at-sign?  Or did kinit print some 
error message you're not sharing with us?
