Hi, we're looking into trying to integrate Kerberos with our existing 
user authentication/authorization systems, after seeing that there was 
an LDAP integration option, since all of our user data is available via 
LDAP.

However on further reading I'm not 100% clear on how the integration 
works. Is it possible to just use the LDAP integration for user 
authentication without having to give Kerberos write access to LDAP?

If write access is required, what information is stored in LDAP, and 
where? As extra data in a user's nod,e or in a separate subtree?
