This issue comes up when you have differente KDC servers in the system, and you need to know which one the client has to use. The proposal is to add an identifier in SCL to help the client the KDC server to use.
We will ask Ivan Goring to attend next meeting and explain the issue to us.
Use Cases:
- Redundant KDC servers
- If the publisher is in another security domain
Is it possible to have multiple KDC servers, one for several groups, other for other several groups?
We need to identify why there could be more than one KDC server for one client.

We hade feedback:
"No practical use case regarding that. It`s only an improvement request, because according to Standard, it`s not prohibited for IED to have multiple KDC elements.
In this way, similar to other elements (Access Point, IED etc.) it will be nice also to have “name” attribute for KDC"
TFUF:
KDC is identified from iedName+apName, so "name" is not needed, but we identify we need to add "desc" for the user to introduce its own information.
