Kevin:

In Kerberos for Windows 2.5, if you are running the Leash ticket manager
at startup Microsoft credential importation will occur automatically.

In KfW 2.6, in addition to automatic importation by the Leash ticket 
manager there is also a new krb5 ccache type, "MSLSA:", which can be
used by applications to cause ticket retrieval to be performed via
the MS Kerberos LSA cache for the current logon session user instead
of the default MIT credentials cache.

KfW 2.6 is currently in beta.  Downloads are available from the MIT
web site.
