I am sorry to hear that you have rolled out KFW 3.0 to your campus.
There are a very large number of serious bugs in NetIDMgr 1.0 which
are being addressed in KFW 3.1.  The invalid principal name but has
been widely discussed on the kerberos at mit.edu mailing list.  Along
with the problems loading plugins on non-US Windows systems and the
memory leaks.  A significant effort has been put into fixing these
and other issues in NetIDMgr so that KFW 3.1 can be released as
*the fix*.   While it would be possible to provide a source patch
that addresses this one issue, I'm sure that are going to want to
address the other issues as well.

I am going to contact you privately about being added to my testers list.
