Platforms that support the "Public Cryptography for Initial Ticket
Acquisition" standard will allow you to use your X.509 certificate
to obtain a Kerberos TGT.
The CITI group at UMichigan also has a project that allows you to
use a Kerberos service ticket to obtain an X.509 certificate with
the same lifetime as the Kerberos ticket.
