DESCRIPTION
krb5_parse_name()
converts a string representation of a principal name to
krb5_principal. The principal
will point to allocated data that should be freed with
krb5_free_principal().
The string should consist of one or more name components separated with slashes (“/”), optionally followed with an “@” and a realm name. A slash or @ may be contained in a name component by quoting it with a backslash (“\”). A realm should not contain slashes or colons.
