[keycloak-user] Understanding "Server Principal" in Kerberos setup

Hi there,

I'm trying to set up Keycloak to use Kerberos with Active Directory.
But I'm not sure, I understand the Server Principal correctly.

Keycloak is running on a server, that is reachable under
keycloak.some.domain.com
The Kerberos Realm is whatever.else.com

So is the Server Principal correctly specified as:

HTTP/keycloak.some.domain.com at whatever.else.com

Or more general HTTP/<CLIENT HOST>@<Kerberos Realm>

And is <Kerberos Realm> in the Server Principal always the same as stated
in "Kerberos Realm" in the admin ui?

And does case matter anywhere?

Greetings,
    Malte
