Give the MDS its own KDC and own domain that is completely separate and untrusted by the corporate domain. The DSes would be required to recognise principals from that domain, and not from the corporate domain. The reason why that might be compelling is to ensure that principals that are generated to support synthetic uids and gids may not be used to authenticate to anything else in the corporate domain. It also ensures that someone with a principal from the corporate domain has no special privileges to access data on the DSes unless granted a layout by the MDS. IOW: the idea is to keep the authentication domain for the pNFS data path entirely private to the storage system, while using the corporate domain to authenticate to the MDS.
