Leash/KFW does not support integrated login. Leash/KFW has no
interaction with the username/password entered by the user when logging
into Windows.
As I stated in my first reply, you must be confusing the behavior of KFW
with the OpenAFS Integrated Login Network Provider which obtains an AFS
token for you using the username and password used to login to Windows.
AFS tokens are stored in the system global AFS Client Service. Kerberos
tickets are stored in per-session credential caches.

Leash will display a dialog if you configure it to do so.

I suggest you read the documentation:
