Wrong principal in request error on gss_accept_sec_context()

To clarify the confusion, I am merely mentioning the same server "myacct" works on one server but does not work in another server.

I added a new keytab entry HTTP/host2.site123.baml.com @ COMMON.BANKOFAMERICA.COM. The same error still exists, did not make much difference.

If the client is authenticating to HTTP/host2.site123.baml.com then the server needs that key in its keytab, though it doesn't have to be listed under that name.
