This is part of the fix to #173. MSFT RODCs insist on the name type for
krbtgt principals be set to KRB5_NT_SRV_INST.
Commentary from Jeffrey Altman <jaltman@secure-endpoints.com>
As reported by David Mulder of Dell's Quest, Active Directory will
return a BAD_INTEGRITY error when a request for a krbtgt service
ticket is received with principal type NT-PRINCIPAL instead of NT-SRV-INST
as required by RFC 4120.
[Nico: RFC4120 does not require this. See the description of the
name-type field of PrincipalName on page 55.]
ERROR: VAS_ERR_KRB5: Failed to obtain credentials.
Client: SLED10-32$@F.QAS,

Microsoft began enforcing principal type checking for RODCs in 2008R2.
Microsoft does state that ALL krgtgt/REALM tickets SHOULD be sent using
principal name type of KRB5_NT_SRV_INST instead of KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL.
From Microsoft:
"I believe we discovered the problem. There isn't a bug in Windows.
There's been a code change to address another issue which puts in additional
checks for Kerberos tickets. The problem is with the Unix clients when the
client request a TGT. The Unix clients are using Name-type Principal
[KRB_NT_PRINCIPAL (1)] instead of using Name-type Service and Instance
[KRB_NT_SRV_INST (2)]...."
This change assigns the NT-SRV-INST principal type each time a krbtgt
service principal is created. Unlike Microsoft, the Heimdal mostly does
not care about the name-type of any principals, with the exception of
referrals, where the name type is needed to decide how to find a
next-hop realm.
