You appear to have, among other things, some confusion about the
difference between a key (which keytabs store) and tickets (which
clients supply to servers, and which must be generated by a KDC although
they can be cached from generation and delivery to client until
expiration in a ccache). You cannot generate a service ticket from a
service key yourself.

http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dialogue.html is a nice basic introduction
to how Kerberos works.
