The 'canonicalize' flag in the [krb5.conf file][1] is now supported by the JDK Kerberos implementation. When set to *true*, [RFC 6806][2] name canonicalization is requested by clients in TGT requests to KDC services (AS protocol). Otherwise, and by default, it is not requested.

        The new default behavior is different from JDK 14 and previous releases where name canonicalization was always requested by clients in TGT requests to KDC services (provided that support for [RFC 6806][2] was not explicitly disabled with the *sun.security.krb5.disableReferrals* system or security properties).
