Network Identity Manager, although properly speaking the bit that's
actually getting the tickets is Kerberos for Windows. NIM is the UI and
an abstraction layer that can handle additional types of credentials.
This is what we use for nearly all of our Windows clients to avoid having
to have them all joined to a domain (which in many cases is just not an
option).
