To close this thread, this invalid signature error on the client-side
was due to mismatched X.509 certificates being fed to the KDC
configuration file in "pkinit_identity". Ensuring that they were the
right private key/public key pair fixed the problem.

Of course, the KDC logs didn't mention any errors during or after
startup about this configuration error, but that's another issue ;) .

Cheers,
Siddharth
