Sorry, your are right, I fixed the link (this feature was submitted
during f-26 timeframe when fh.o was still up and I forgot to change the
links when I re-submitted the feature..)

The correct link is:
    https://docs.pagure.org/SSSD.sssd/design_pages/kcm.html

Yes, more or less. The wire protocol is the same and I used MIT client
libraries with Heimdal server bit during development. Not all server
commands are implemented, only the subset that MIT client implements.

There are some features supported by Heimdal but not supported yet by SSSD's
KCM, like renewals, but those will be added. There are some features we
chose to explicitly not add (or not enable by default), like listing all
ccaches known to KCM server by root.

Hopefully the sssd upstream design page would help..

No, the Heimdal deamon relies on internal Heimdal API quite a bit. We
also want to support multiple 'storage back ends' for the ccaches, while
Heimdal only stores the ccaches in memory.
