DAL API to read Realm Information

[Jeffrey Altman]

Santosh:

I would expect that if the principal information is being stored
in the KDB and the KDB backend is LDAP that there must be a method
for all of the data required by the KDC to be obtained via the DAL.

In your design please try to consider extensibility issues.  How will
we add new fields to the KDC request and how will the DAL respond if
those fields are not supported by the back end.

Thanks.

Jeffrey Altman
