Technically this is related to the topic discussed in the '[RFC] Change
default regular-expressions for user names' thread
(https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/sssd-devel/2014-May/019642.html)
on sssd-devel. It's about finding a user by his Kerberos principal, the
Enterprise Principal Names are aliases for the Kerberos principal of the
user.

My plan is to include this use-case in the design for the feature
discussed in the tread but I'm afraid it will only be available in the
next major SSSD release.
