case of service component in server principals



Hi,
the GSSAPI mechanism included in the IBM SecureWay Directory Client SDK
uses tickets in which the service component of the server principal is
in capital letters, i.e. LDAP/server@REALM. 
OpenLDAP (with Cyrus SASL and MIT krb5) expects the service to be in
lower case though, i.e. ldap/server@REALM, and thus aborts with
"gss_accept_sec_context: Miscellaneous failure; Wrong principal in
request;"
rfc1510, 7.2.1 states that the hostname must be in lower case, but what
about the service name?
