Colm O hEigeartaigh commented on DIRKRB-717:
--------------------------------------------

For the record, it seems to handle whitespace correctly - I've added some tests.

> I've recently been trying to work with krb5.conf files using kerby and it kept on crashing when ";" was used as a comment character in the krb5.conf file.

> According to the MIT code:
> [https://github.com/krb5/krb5/blob/0744026f06e8cbf477aa49cfe16b5fd28a9ddc9e/src/util/profile/prof_parse.c#L86]
> it should be allowed.
>  
> While Kerby does this:
> [https://github.com/apache/directory-kerby/blob/trunk/kerby-kerb/kerb-common/src/main/java/org/apache/kerby/kerberos/kerb/common/Krb5Parser.java#L195]
>  
> We should skip lines that start with ';'
