NIM does not obtain the credentials.  The KFW network provider
(kfwlogon.dll) does this if and only if:

   1. the password for the AD and MIT realms are the same
   2. kfwlogon.dll is installed
   3. the default realm in the krb5.ini file is the MIT realm

The NIM obtain new creds at startup does not affect the kfwlogon.dll. 
What it does is prompt the user for credentials if there are none
available at startup.
