On windows XP and later, we have a new API called QueryTicketCacheEx, this exposes the client realm correctly. Does this meet your need? typedef struct _KERB_TICKET_CACHE_INFO_EX { UNICODE_STRING ClientName; UNICODE_STRING ClientRealm; UNICODE_STRING ServerName; UNICODE_STRING ServerRealm; LARGE_INTEGER StartTime; LARGE_INTEGER EndTime; LARGE_INTEGER RenewTime; LONG EncryptionType; ULONG TicketFlags; } KERB_TICKET_CACHE_INFO_EX, *PKERB_TICKET_CACHE_INFO_EX; PKERB_QUERY_TKT_CACHE_REQUEST and PKERB_QUERY_TKT_CACHE_EX_RESPONSE typedef struct _KERB_QUERY_TKT_CACHE_EX_RESPONSE { KERB_PROTOCOL_MESSAGE_TYPE MessageType; ULONG CountOfTickets; KERB_TICKET_CACHE_INFO_EX Tickets[ANYSIZE_ARRAY]; } KERB_QUERY_TKT_CACHE_EX_RESPONSE, *PKERB_QUERY_TKT_CACHE_EX_RESPONSE; typedef struct _KERB_TICKET_CACHE_INFO_EX { UNICODE_STRING ClientName; UNICODE_STRING ClientRealm; UNICODE_STRING ServerName; UNICODE_STRING ServerRealm; LARGE_INTEGER StartTime; LARGE_INTEGER EndTime; LARGE_INTEGER RenewTime; LONG EncryptionType; ULONG TicketFlags; } KERB_TICKET_CACHE_INFO_EX, *PKERB_TICKET_CACHE_INFO_EX;
