+            This module will try to authenticate the user using the GSSAPI
+            hostbased service name host@hostname which translates to
+            host/hostname@REALM Kerberos principal. The
+            <emphasis>REALM</emphasis> part of the Kerberos principal name is
+            derived by Kerberos internal mechanisms and it can be set explicitly
+            in configuration of [domain_realm] section in /etc/krb5.conf.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            SSSD is used to provide desired service name and to validate the

+            be associated with the user. This means that the principal that owns
+            the Kerberos credentials must match with the user principal name as
+            defined in LDAP.
+        </para>
+        <para>

+        <para>
+            1. I have KRB5CCNAME environment variable set and the authentication
+            does not work: Depending on your sudo version, it is possible that
+            sudo does not pass this variable to the PAM environment. Try adding
+            KRB5CCNAME to <option>env_keep</option> in /etc/sudoers or in your
+            LDAP sudo rules default options.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            2. Authentication does not work and syslog contains "Server not
+            found in Kerberos database": Kerberos is probably not able to
+            resolve correct realm for the service ticket based on the hostname.
+            Try adding the hostname directly to
+            <option>[domain_realm]</option> in /etc/krb5.conf like so:
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            3. Authentication does not work and syslog contains "No Kerberos
+            credentials available": You don't have any credentials that can be
+            used to obtain the required service ticket. Use kinit or autheticate
+            over SSSD to acquire those credentials.
+        </para>
+        <para>
+            4. Authentication does not work and SSSD sssd-pam log contains "User
+            with UPN [$UPN] was not found." or "UPN [$UPN] does not match target
+            user [$username].": You are using credentials that can not be mapped
