MIT Kerberos for Windows is not internationalized.  Network Identity 
Manager does
support Unicode inputs but at the present time the underlying Kerberos 
v5 libraries
do not.  I'm not exactly sure at which boundary the principal name or 
password will
become corrupted.  I have not tried a non-ASCII principal or password in 
a very long
time because of the character set issues.
