Although it is recommended to use keytab for the server-end, Java 
GSS/Kerberos does provide the flexibility to work without keytab at the 
server-end. User can enter password for the service principal, and a key 
will be generated. However, once you generate keytab, entering passwords 
will not work; you'll need to reset the password for the service 
principal in the KDC.
