You have to be careful if you use as me, SSSD and NFS4+krb ;
NFS doesn’t agree on connection with sec=krb5 if hostname doesn't match the hostname
in keytab file.

I think this is a good point. SSSD should just work.
I did a bit more research and it seems that both Windows clients and realmd
truncate the name. Then I think it would be a good idea to let SSSD also
search for:
SHORTNAME_UP_TO_15_CHARS$@REALM
instead of:
ANYTHING_UP_TO_THE_FIRST_DOT$@REALM
