SSSD domain is not the same as kerberos realm name.
Usually, tools like ipa-client-install and realmd generate
lower-case version of krb5 realm because it is simpler :-)
But you could use any name for sssd.

e.g.

[domain/at_work]
   ...
krb5_realm = AMER.EXAMPLE.COM

[domain/at_fedora]
   ...
krb5_realm = FEDORAPROJECT.ORG

[domain/home]
   ...
krb5_realm = MYAD.TEST.NET

User "johny@at_work" will get a krb5 ticket with principal 
[email protected]

Some domains (usually AD) have enabled option "case_sensitive = true" in domain
section (by default with id_provider ad)

Therefore getent passwd johny@at_work and johny@AT_WORK will return the same
ID. But getent passwd [email protected] will not return anything
because such sssd domain does not exist :-)

And vice versa, kinit [email protected] will work but kinit johny@AT_WORK
will not work.
