PAC group membership vs tokenGroupsGlobalAndUniversal assumptions‏

Hi,

While reviewing recent Microsoft documentation, I noticed that references
suggesting an equivalence between the LDAP attribute
tokenGroupsGlobalAndUniversal and the group membership embedded in Kerberos
PACs appear to have been removed or softened.

>From an interoperability with Active Directory perspective, I wanted to ask:
Is it considered safe to assume that the group SIDs included in the PAC
correspond to the same effective group set as tokenGroupsGlobalAndUniversal,
or should these be treated as related but not guaranteed to be identical?


Thanks.
