Regarding HS2.0 client credential block

[Shyam]

Hi All,
I know from the supplicant implementation that
- Domain Name from the credential block of a client is compared with the
Domain Name List of an AP to figure out Roaming/Home Network.
- Realm from the credential block of a client is compared against the Realm
List from an AP.

Wanted to know as a use case scenario when the Realm and Domain Name are
different?

Thanks,
Shyam
