+ * dst_gssapi_identitymatchesrealmms() call in lib/dns/ssu.c and
+ * its definition in lib/dns/gssapictx.c for details):
+ *
+ * A GSS-TSIG update request will be signed by a given signer
+ * (e.g. machine-name$@${REALM}). The signer name is split into
+ * the machine component (e.g. "machine-name") and the realm
+ * component (e.g. "${REALM}"). The update is allowed if the
+ * following conditions are met:
+ *
+ * 1) The machine component of the signer name matches the first
+ * (host) component of the FQDN that is being updated.
+ *
+ * 2) The realm component of the signer name matches the realm
+ * in the grant statement below (${REALM}).
+ *
+ * 3) The domain component of the FQDN that is being updated
+ * matches the realm in the grant statement below.
+ *
+ * If the 3 conditions above are satisfied, the update succeeds.
