Could you provide some more information on these patches? Why has that been removed in 1.4? What is the name of the service principal, I found a HTTP/fqdn at realm in my logs, but is this the correct one?
I would really like to use 1.4 since 1.3 currently makes a lot of problems with my printers and support for these problems should be better in 1.4.
