Thanks. So just to check if I got it right. In case a
krbPrincContainerRef attribute is present, the administrator needs to be
sure that it points to the same dn pointed by at least one element of
krbSubTrees (in case krbSearchScope=one-level) or it's children (in case
krbSearchScope=subtree) - or else it will end up adding principals where
kerberos itself can't find them.

Thanks,
