Does this mean you're using LDAP for authentication, and looking for
a way Kerberos programs can use the LDAP setup you've already got?
That's not how the LDAP backend works; it's for doing authentication
the Kerberos way, except the database is stored in LDAP. The data we
store is entirely different from what LDAP authentication uses; you
can't just layer one on top of the other.
