The KDC password policy should be integrated with the password policy 
for easier administration. In many deployments the convenience of a 
common policy would over-ride the security benefits of a separate policy.

At the same time, a particular site might want different password 
policies for kerberos and LDAP credentials, based on the assessment of 
threats faced in their environment.

While kerberos password policy model would benefit from the experience 
of the LDAP password policy model, the schema should be able to handle 
the scenarios of integrated and separate policy instances at the same time.
