I don't know enough about Kerberos (yet) to know if it would be possible
My ignorance is leaving me with a priming problem that seems like a
catch 22. You
can't login without shadow information or TGT. But
traditional (simpler) kinit is run after being logged in. So ... how do
you detangle that? The only thing that I can come up with is that the
login process does the kinit functionality on the users behalf.
I found that I had to do all of this using SASL.
I remember it as SASL would handle the kerberization during boot up
getting tickets for each LDAP entry that you wanted mapped to a service on
that client.
I could be wrong but I think SASL seems to be way
connect services on
Linux with LDAP that are served kerberized.
SASL is involved somewhat, in that it does help with implementing Kerberos
– services and clients can call libsasl instead of talking Kerberos
directly, abstract away the complexity – but that's all it is, an
abstraction layer. (A quite useful one, though.)
But it's not the only method, strictly speaking (e.g. SSH and HTTP use
GSSAPI, and various older software use Kerberos directly). And as far as I
could understand the previous paragraph – it doesn't have anything specific
about "kerberization during boot up".
