GSS-EAP defines a host naming convention that takes into account the host name, the realm, the service, and the service parameters. An example of a GSS-API service name is "xmpp/foo@example.com". This identifies the XMPP service on the host foo in the realm example.com. Any of the components, except for the service name, may be omitted from a name. When omitted, a local default would be used for that component of the name.
