Hello all!

I'm having troubles getting the right translation for `Principal' when used
in a Kerberos context. In German a principal can be many things. At least
that's what the dictionary says.

Its clear to me that a principal maps to a person or service or host. What
I'm trying to find the right German word, that includes all three of them.
The idea I have so far, is that its called a principal, because the
kerberized application is working on behalf of that `principal' (hmm,
somehow a recursive definition).

Could any native speaker please enlighten me?

Thanks in advance
Heiko
