You may be confusing the LDAP used by the KDC to store it data,
and an LDAP used by something like nss-ldap that stores what
would have been found on /etc/passwd or NIS.
So kinit and pam_krb5 can do the authentication as they always have,
to the KDC, then when kinit or pam_krb5  calls getpwnam this calls
the  nss-ldap routines via /etc/nsswitch.conf.
